And those are not that hot of rates either, excluding perhaps the senior arch.

These are USD per HOUR? Crikey! You could retire after a couple of years on that! Nah that cant be right. I did a bit under 3000 hours last year, multiply by 30 and convert to local currency adds up to more than Ive earned in my whole working life (4+ years). A lot more... Are those fair dinkum rates or are you just having us on? Five weeks holiday??? OT pay??? Yeh. Thought so. Its a joke. hehe. You had me going there mate! -----Original Message----- From: Simon Kelly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 27 March 2003 16:08 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [OT] Contract Work: Going Rate? These are some going full time rates for a London based e-learning company, for an average of 1880 hrs worked in one year (Five weeks holiday not included in the figures, but you'd get the same rate). The company pays OT on projects that need it, but actually limit the number of hours in a week that an employee can be in the office. (Something about a work/life balance, whatver than means :-) All in US dollars (converted from blighty pounds) Grade one (Whipping boy) - 30$ Grade two (Code monkey) - 40$ Grade three (Designer) - 55$ Grade four (Architect) - 90$ Grade five (Senior Architect) - 150$ These don't include the options and bonuses (last xmas bonus ranged from 500$ to 6000$) and the OT isn't in there (Usually 1.5*hourly week-day/sat -- 2*hourly sun). Contractor have to pay all the insurance and stuff, so I'd dap about 22-40% on top of each of these + a little extra if your gonna have to live in an expensive part of town. NOTE to the lawer. It only becomes illegal if it can be proven that we have set a level of pay *and* have all agreed to follow this level. If you've been on here long enough, you'd know *noone* ever agrees about anything!! =]:0) Good luck with the job, I hear California is nice this time of year!!
