So the problem is not that the market for programmers is too big, it's the other way around: the market of jobs available at a better rate is too small and larger companies have this market cornered.
My hourly rate expectation was based on a few years working at Accenture and seeing rates for Java programmers. I figured it would be adjusted down for individual developers, but I didn't realize it would be that much.

But my personal criteria for now is more about whether I will enjoy working somewhere and learn useful things, rather than the amount of money I can make. I could get a dead-boring programming job and make probably 50% more than I do now, but right now I feel like I am learning a lot more, and like people I'm working with a lot more than I would in that situation.
- hallmark 17y agoWere the rates for Java programmers that: - Accenture was hiring to build internal infrastructure for Accenture - Accenture was hiring as subcontractors for Accenture's own consulting contracts - worked fulltime for Accenture and were being hired out and billed to Accenture's clients
