It means a team leader involved in doing the work (hands on) and a team
leader who merely provides directions (hands off).

In my experience, no, it just means the person putting together the list
doesn't know what they're talking about, literally. They have a pile of
paper with a list of skills different people told them they were looking
for, so they wrote them all down. I suspect if you asked the person who
wrote the ad what kind of software each of those was, they'd say "I don't
know", even tho the answer is listed on the same line. Either that, or
they're optimizing for search engines, just plugging in what everyone might
search for.
I've been turned down for jobs because they were advertising for ISO and TCP
networking and I wrote I know both the OSI and the IP stack.

Hey, I was just giving the author the benefit of the doubt. No need to
be a cynic in everything... :P

Fair enough. :-)

It's only cynicism when it's not true. ;-)

department or something, which is beyond my skills and experience.
hadn't realised that there are real people out there who actually earn
this much money. And yes, in retrospect that sounds kinda silly...)

Well.. that one's more debatable. "I'm used to large infrastructure" is
about as valid is "here are lots of sheep". (I.e., "sheep" doesn't have
a plural.) But if you wrote infrastructure as plural, that would be
correct also.

Once I did a quick computation on how much you would get if you would
accept an offer to work in my group. I can not find that e-mail but IIRC
it was in that ballpark. Offer is not valid yet, we still haven't got
the project.
If you are paid significantly less now, you are underpaid. But we have
been through that already.

Hypothetically such people probably exist, but I don't think I've ever
met one.

You definitely need to move. That's not even college graduate money here.

Minimum wage here is £14,373.74 (€=alt-0128 £=alt-156 and ü=alt-129 but
that was not the question) if I computed it right
