25$
I thought it was much less, I'm not even making half that.
- square_usual 6y agoThe $25/h is probably overall consulting fee per billable hour. The programmer won't be seeing the full amount.
- nathias 6y agoyes, its still a lot more than I thought they are getting
- mgkimsal 6y agoInteresting. When I was younger (just starting out) I didn't have much idea of how much markup others had when I was working for them (as employee or contractor). I typically thought it might be 20-25% markup. And... in some cases I know it's that, but that has tended to be the low end. It's usually more like minimum 50% markup; if you're getting $50/hr from an agency, they're charging at least $75/hr, probably more. If you're getting $60/hr, they're probably charging at least $90/hr, and so on.
- C1sc0cat 6y agoDepends on country 25$ an hour is only a day rate of £160 in the UK. £400 is a good day rate for a average contract programmer outside London.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoYup. Living in Poland, I contracted for an US firm, my rate was actually $26/hour. Which was a 3x step up from my previous salary in a local company, and way above average in terms of general salaries in my country.
