Might I humbly suggest that this is going to severely limit your
hiring options? You're looking for the intersection of sets of people
who:
- Have a BS in computer science (cuts out a fair number of people)
- Graduated from a "top university" (cuts out a *lot* of people)
- Is familiar with Java (cuts out some people)
- Is skilled with Haskell (a fair bet for many on this mailing list, at least)
- Can work in the Manhattan area (cuts out a *lot* of people)
- Is looking for a job.
Haskell is still exotic enough that it has a disproportionate amount of Giant Brains among its practitioners. Companies tend to want to hang on to these, even in a recession.
