Of course, because I'm hiring both.
Perm: 30k-80k depending on experience for Java/C# & good Javascript devs
Contract: 50-80 EUR / hour depending on experience.
I'm a Tech Lead / Architect so can demand more as a contractor, although for the higher paid (perm) jobs I have to travel.
At the higher end you need to be really good: i.e. know more than just web development - being able to knock together CRUD apps with Rails/PHP won't cut it.
Pay and rates for PHP/Ruby are much lower - the talent pool is also less capable. Strangely enough C++ has the same issue - it has been explained to me that the best C++ devs have jumped ship already so what's left isn't that good. Whilst that can be the case it's more likely to be a question of demand: Europe doesn't build systems-level software in the way America does..
- raverbashing 11y agoThanks I wonder what's the cost of the extra bureaucracy around contracting more or less
- radicalbyte 11y agoContracting: 40 work weeks are workable 15% fee for agency 200 eur / month insurances 8k/year pension Slightly more favorable tax The 40 weeks is 6 weeks holiday, 6 weeks downtime/sick. Insurance covers longer-term sickness (thus the cost). When you consider that the best developers tend to go contracting the rates actually start to look low.
