Time to broaden their hiring pool then, $150k is double the cost of a senior developer in many other parts of the world (yes including English speaking first world countries).

When you've got 90 days till the doors close you cant be picky about your hiring pool.

Read the posting. They dont have money for a team, they don't have money for a senior developer. Whether $150k/FTE or $75k doesn't matter, because they don't have either of those.

Once the server and other costs have been paid, the have money for... maybe a part-time junior in Cambodia.
