As a New Zealander, unfortunately, I fall into the category of cheap overseas contractor. With our weak dollar working for a US company is a good way to earn above average. We're still much more expensive than some of the cheaper countries. In fact we're currently working with a Vietnamese contractor. He is very good and much cheaper than a local hire.

- xupybd 4y agoIf I were to get a job with a US company I'd be expecting US rates. That would be the point. That was kind of my point that while getting US rates is still and advantage for us here in NZ we can't compete based on price.

- xupybd 4y agoIs that for a salaried position? If so well done!
- godmode2019 4y agoNo, that's not market rate for salary. I thought we were talking about contracts. Salary seems to be around 150k +- 50k
