Re: [SOT] avg hourly rate for mid and adv cf programmer
That seems to be the going rate down here in this neck of the woods for self employed developers working 1099. I'd thought up in DC people would get more since the cost of living I am told is much higher up there than down here. Although it also does not surprise me because the few times I have gone looking for work, I would always get out of state offers that paid no more than what I would get here but always be in places that had a higher cost of living.

Re: [SOT] avg hourly rate for mid and adv cf programmer
Most of the independents that I know get between $40 to $130/hr. Those numbers vary by the nature of the work and overhead. Basically if the client gives you a predefined scope of work, i.e sub contracting for another shop (B2B), where you don't have to deal directly with the client, the rates are lower. If you are working in house (or remotely) as a temp/subcontractor for say, a 1-3 month project, the hourly rate (on Monster.com) is between 30-60 hr. No hassles... you just get paid for the work you do. For contract work acting as the design/development house and walking in cold, doing a scope of work, writing the proposal/contract etc. you start getting into the higher end of the range (greater risk/more work). If you have to do administrative work like writing contracts, book keeping, customer service etc. you need to figure that in to your hourly rate as overhead. When I was running my shop I billed at $50/hr when I first started and moved up to $75 to $95 /hr. One of my friends (a client) said that I should raise my rates because people would question the quality of the work if my rate it too low. The next project I did for him I jacked my rate up $25 an hr. (Hey... you said I need to raise my rates.) In any event, my advice for doing *ANY* client/contract work (I have been burned by a non profit mind you) is to get a bullet proof contract. I bought the "Web Development and Hosting Suite" from http://www.contractedge.com and it has served me well. Define the scope of work as best you can, leave as little to interpretation as possible and *document everything*.

Re: [SOT] avg hourly rate for mid and adv cf programmer
Any elected representative of mine who votes for that sure as hell isn't getting my vote in the next election cycle. I have a handful of friends, really good developers, who are currently jobless, and the only reason I'm probably not jobless is because I've switched careers to teaching.

RE: [CAUTION]Re: [SOT] avg hourly rate for mid and adv cf programmer
It depends on the scope and length of contract. As a solo contrator I've done work for as low as $60/hr and as high as $180/hr. Back when I worked for a consulting firm, I was contracted out at $225/hr. Obviously *I* didn't get that money. I saw only a small fraction of that go into my salary and the rest went to the accountants. > -Original Message- > From: John Lucania [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 1:09 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: [CAUTION]Re: [SOT] avg hourly rate for mid and adv > cf programmer > > Holly. who is getting $200 or more? > The salary is almost ~ $.5 mil then. > > jl > > On 11/3/05, Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've heard of rates anywhere from $30 to $200 or more for > > established firms.
