The part that gets me is that HR should have no part in the employment process beyond paperwork filing. Why the appointment of technical positions is left to clueless HR people is beyond me, but HR seem to crave this power. When a job is opened the hiring manager should be told the budget range a

You could always become a heckler. Maybe you can be "that Guy" who was wearing a BlueDragon T-Shirt at Max. I don't want to give the impression that I'm rolling in dough, though. I don't make $100 an hour. Many days I'm just happy to be working at all. To put price into perspective, fr

I chose those numbers because 100 is easy to break up into percentages. All that said, the amount you make really comes down to how well you sell yourself to the client / employer / recruiter. A lot of the things I've done (Write books, speak at conferences, write articles, etc.. ) help me

This is a tricky subject no matter how you slice it. Most companies budget 25%-35% of a persons salary for benefits. So, theoretically, that is the amount your income will drop when moving from a contractor to a full time employee, but you'll notice no change in compensation, because you a
