Erik, I also live in the Atlanta area. The going rate seems to be around 45-50 per hour for most of the "consulting firms" (body shops) assuming most of those do W2 instead of 1099 then you can probably get about 10-15 more per hour 1099.

(Ack, sorry, mark, for replying directly to you.) Five years professional programming (at 34 -- had two other short careers as a journalist and graphic artist/designer), *very* strong Swing/Threads, good Struts/JSTL, good JDBC/SQL, decent EJB, JMS, strong XML, strong HTTP, good Linux, novice C++, exceptional graphic design and writing skills (if I do say so myself) in Atlanta, GA. Maybe that was more than you wanted. ;) Thanks for any and all opinions! I don't want to short-change myself!

I assume my current rates, paid in Albanian Leke will be of little use to you. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 April 2005 16:55 To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: [OT] looking for salary surveys I am wrapping up a project and have put myself on the market. Recruiters are contacting me, and I am trying to refine my rate schedule, as I haven't been on the market in more than two years. I would appreciate it if any of you have any good references (salary surveys in particular) concerning salaries/hourly rates that I could use to generate a baseline.
