I don't see this as an entry-level job, but it seems that everybody in the biz only wants to hire entry-level people who'll work 70 hours a week for rice and beans and get thrown away when they start asking for health insurance.
That's not what Danese meant by "entry-level". I think she meant that it's a position an outsider could get used to fairly quickly, then advance to other positions after a few years. The latter was specifically mentioned by Danese, and I think that's because that person will have developed enough skills and knowledge specific to our organization and software to be useful in a different capacity so we can hire another outsider to do this job for a few years and go full circle. Also, I personally expect a bugmeister to be pretty fed up with their job after a few years; one of the reasons Siebrand initially suggested we hire one was something along the lines of "no one's gonna do this for fun for more than a few days, so we need to pay someone to do it".
