Hi, What should I pay a junior Linux admin engaged on a 3 months contract (40 hours a week, mostly on-site but able to work from home 2 days a week if desired) in Los Angeles?
I've been out of consulting for a few years and don't know what would fair pay. This would be on IRS form 1099 (contractor) -- i.e. no benefits! Hourly pay only. The duties would include routine infrastructure and (in-house) application support to free the in-house sys admins for a data center migration project. Duties would include: Monitoring server backups and testing restores Setting up Linux accounts Building servers following a build procedure Patching servers (in coordination with Dev and QA) Light shell scripting (fixing reports) First-tier support of in-house application (following established procedures) Arranging and implementing disposal of old equipment Other tasks delegated from senior sys admin Would appreciate any recent experience you can share that might help me determine "market rates" so I can that or just above that. Best, Aleksey
