To all of the recruiters who post here: We always appreciate it, and we're not trying to bash you. But please, for your good and ours, some of you need to do more research on what appropriate rates are for senior Remedy developers, and make it clear to your customers that those rates are higher than for a Java or C++ developer, because our skills are far more specialized.
Remedy development is still the best bargain, even at BMC's rates, of any of the Enterprise-level software to which I've been exposed. Ever seen an SAP deployment? Dozens of people working on it at $200/hr. for years. Remedy? Five is a big team, and one-person teams certainly are not unheard of. Projects are measured in weeks or months. Senior level Remedy consultants are more than just bodies to be plugged into a position. We appreciate you partnering with us to make everyone pleased with the value you and we provide.
