At an industry standard 80 hours/week, that works out to $60/hr. I don't know any good developers that would take a contract for only $60/hr. Do you?
- rgrieselhuber 18y agoExcellent point. It's actually quite miserable pay considering the lifestyle hit.
- geebee 18y agoThat is a fair point - though I actually doubt that 80 hrs/week is standard. There are those weeks, but they're not the norm. The lawyers I know (the ones at the big first) work about 50-60 hrs/week. Still tough, but nowhere near that bad. Unfortunately, this is all anecdotal, just what I've observed and what friends have told me. Also, the lawyer is not contracting - it's a job. I think plenty of developers would take a job that pays 240K/yr for a 60 hr workweek.
- aditya 18y ago$60/hr for 2080hr/year (assuming 40hr workweek) == $124,800/yr - plenty of developers would take that.
- JabavuAdams 18y agoI would. Does that make me easy, or just cheap?
