I certainly wouldn't consider myself "low end" that's for sure. Yeah $80 is low and when you are dealing with recruitment agencies you would be extremely hard pressed to get anything over $80-85 an hour around here.

I know that the US won't bear European rates... -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
