    Oh man...it's times like these I wish I lived in the states....

    I work as a web developer right now , do loads of database/data mining work (which I love, along with statistics/patterns/probability stuff etc.) and love basketball

    That would be a dream job....

    The Rockets are notorious for being cheap when it comes to staff salaries, so look out.

    What's dumb is that they require using mostly Windows-based tools when most of the top work in this field is done outside of Windows. My company works on similar technologies, but we only use open-source languages and applications.

    My experience has been the opposite. I find tons of opportunities for Microsoft technology. I'm actually perfectly suited for the job, but if bejezuz is right, I doubt they'd come close to my salary. :(

    Cool stuff. I'd love working for the Rockets... but I've heard the pay isn't very high. Good luck to those of you who apply.

    Yeah the Rockets pay is pretty low, knowing a few past directors, managers, and Vp which all don't work for the Rockets anymore, the pay was abysmal.

    If I had to guess on the pay for this job, it would be in the $40k to 50K range, but there are some nice perks though, free Rockets tickets and toyota center event tixs etc...

    I work for the Astros. I was thinking about working for the Rockets as well, but that would cut into my school. I wonder how much they pay for guest services representative (that's my position w/ the Astros).

    Of course, now that I actually read the job description, I notice it's an internship. I doubt I'll get the $100-120k that I put as my salary requirement. :D

    I saw a marketing analyst job posted there before. Pay was 7 dollars an hour.

    That is straight up slave wages.
