Awesome, another Knoxvillain on HN. I feared I was the only one.

Decent pay here in Knoxville isn't all that difficult, but you do have to hustle and build up a bit of a name for yourself before you can reasonably expect to pull in anything, and it won't approach SV rates. Oh, and you pretty much have to be a .NET developer, although there is some demand for Java and a tiny bit of demand building for Ruby and Python.

Feel free to drop me a line (email is in my profile) and maybe we can help each other out.
