That is very sad :) That's another reason why I'm looking for another job.
I've proved soon-to-be employers that I'm smart enough to make much more.
I don't want to bad mouth my current employer, but they don't appreciate software development and in general, there are not a lot of software development career opportunities here.
Where are you located? (General area if you don't want to be specific). Also how many years of experience do you have?
As for your question, I haven't had a offer rescinded and the only time I have heard of it happening is because of a major issue, such falsifying credentials/degrees.
I've been working in software development since I was in High School; I started at a small agency in my hometown developing CRUD applications in ASP and PHP for local companies.
Then I went to college and in my first semester, the research director offered me a position to develop software for their research projects.
After I left college, I've been working for an advertising agency 1 year now developing more CRUD applications for local companies.
So "real world" experience (in other words besides doing research and my summer internship at a top national laboratory) I've only got 2 1/2 years of experience.
The company that offered me a job is a big company (5000 employees) and is among the fastest growing companies in the US, so it would be a huge bummer if I got my job offer rescinded, I just can't stop thinking about it.
Highly unlikely. Not sure you'd want to work for a company that wouldn't hire you over a speeding ticket anyways. Send me your resume if they end up rescinding your job offer.
I didn't even know there were developer jobs anywhere in the country that pays $12/hr.... but hey, free market right? whatever you are willing to take:)
Doesn't the oil boom down there mean that everyone is hiring? Surely EOG, Baker Hughes, etc. have jobs that pays better than $12/hour, even if they're in something tangentially related to software development, like IT.

You make 12hr as a software developer, that is very interesting

> I've only got 2 1/2 years of experience.
I know a guy 1 year out of school charging $80/hour. Businesses pay for stuff getting done, not experience.
South Texas (Rio Grande Valley).
No tech companies, no headquarters of any kind.

I pay more than three times this for developers that work through Odesk, elance etc.
