I personally know 4 of the people in this group. One is a former co-worker and in my wedding. One used to work as part of my team but moved to reduce his commute (I agreed it was a good move for his family).

Solid technical group, and a great bunch of folks. We do similar work, but slightly different sectors. However, even if they were direct competitors I wouldn't hesitate to recommend someone apply to this position if qualified.

(Disclaimer: none of them asked me for this endorsement, but if I remember one of them owes me a beer!)

Submitting my application now. Thanks for the heads up!

How much deviation from "Experience with ArcGIS" is acceptable here?

Prior experience or classes taken. Doesn't hurt to apply though.

Thanks for the shoutout tamc91!
