    Salary req's as part of the job description is a red flag for me....this means to me that somebody thinks designers/developers are interchangeable, and/or the search is being influenced by non-creative types who had their own priorities....

    You might ask them... are you looking for the cheapest?Well, that;'s Certainly not me....They will mutter a few things about budget..... often it means that a business oriented person is trying to keep their costs down.... they see design/dev as a cost center, not a profit center sometimes.... if so, either walk away, as this may not be the place for you, or work out a deal, where they pay you based on performance, and if you like to be in on pitches, you get a percentage of the successful business based on that pitch... that can excite sales types who like to think designers often don't care about account service/sales...
