Re: On line project site
I second Guru.com, you can pick up small and large products, and if you don't shun php you can do much better.

Re: On line project site
A major contributing factor to these low-ball estimates is a lot of the time, people completely unfamiliar with how IT should be conducted, much less how much it should cost are the ones who are posting the jobs. Anyone in their right mind who has worked in this industry should know that they will never be able to get a $2,500 computer ready to plug-n-play for $1,000. For that to be possible, they would either need to lower their expectations on components (specs) or lower their labor rate, or both.

I was on there for a bit, but kept getting out bid by someone who'll do it for $5.00/hr. Jenny wrote: Has anyone had success, or otherwise, with sites such as Guru, Elance or oDesk?

RE: On line project site
Guru.com was good for me a few years ago. Some clients post projects looking for US only coders and therefore are willing to pay a normal hourly range. I picked up a client that I kept for about 2 years until she stopped doing the business. Dave -Original Message- From: C.

Re: On line project site
Dave, True. I heard about Guru.com as well. I think Guru.com has more long-term projects with better opportunities for pay. But I was heard that it is hard to get work there. Ravi.
