Doing some math in reverse: $60 / 2.4 = $25 $25/hour = $50,000/year Therefore, $60/hour as a consultant is approximately equivalent to $50,000/year as a full-time employee with benefits, and that's assuming about 40 billable hours a week. $50,000/year for someone with a graduate degree should not be the "top." If you're a PHP developer who might consider a new career with a company that values its staff, OmniTI (http://omniti.com/home) is always looking for good people. We offer fair salaries and a positive learning environment for people who are passionate about what they do. More to the point, the market is hungry for good PHP developers. Like many companies, we're having a tough time finding enough good people. I really don't like hearing about talented people not being given respect, as past discussions have probably revealed. :-) Chris -- Chris Shiflett http://shiflett.org/ _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
