I was about to mention the potential for lower $ in an academic environment. What is the exchange, ie what do you get in that environment versus the percieved lower pay. Mid $60's is the implied 'okay' amount in the northeast US (plus benefits) with some peaks around $70-75. The $60 is also for 11 months, so pro-rated it's around $65.
In the most gross sense, it's 1760 hours (11 months x 40 hrs/week) at $60,000 which is $34 per hour. If this position offers 1 week of sick time, 2 weeks vacation and 1 week of holidays, the rate becomes $37.50. If it's a 1099 (contract), then it's a little low. If it's a payroll position, then it's a little more favorable. I guess it all depends on what you're doing at the present. my 1 cent. P.S. I like your binary phrase. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2005 7:18 AM Subject: Re: [U2] UV Programmer/Analyst contract position > On Sat, 5 Mar 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > The job is listed at $54,600 - $66,000.
