- bulte-rs 12y agoI don't make 60 bucks an hour (not even 45 euros).. Much sad :(
- Raphmedia 12y agoYou may be confusing your salary with what your boss charges clients. Or, it may simply be that you are from somewhere where the economy is different.
- bulte-rs 12y agoI know the distinction between the two ;-) While my boss charges something like EUR100 an hour, I make less than 25% of that (after taxes). O.t.o.h.: The salary is quite competitive around here (41k EUR a year, 40hrs/wk, 25 days off)
- Huppie 12y agoFrom your profile it looks like you're in The Netherlands. 41k/year is acceptable but not considered competitive in my book. Edit: Note that this 41k/year pretax salary in The Netherlands does not include the contributions your employer makes for you to your social security/pension/disability insurance, etc. That being said, even after all those it's not yet near 60 bucks an hour.
- bulte-rs 12y agoExactly, I cost my employer approximately double of that. And you're right about it not being industry competitive; I should have been more specific about regionality (i.e. I choose to not work in Amsterdam where I can 'easily' make double but which will cost me around 2,5hrs of travel a day while I can walk to work in 5 minutes now).
- UnfalseDesign 12y agoSame here. I'm a web developer in the US and I make $17 an hour... and that's at a major, international corporation. I think you and I are being shorted.
- Bahamut 12y agoBig time, but it also depends on the area of the country you live in. Pay in the midwest is a lot lower for example, but the cost of living is a lot lower as well, whereas in Silicon Valley, it is not unheard of for people to make close to $100/hour (although that is somewhat rarer).
- pionar 12y agoEven in the midwest, though, $17/hour (about $35,000/yr) is WAY low. Most devs in the midwest START at about 50,000 - 60,000 for entry-level.
- findjashua 12y ago$100/hr comes out to about $200k/yr. Only the developers at the top echelon make that kind of money.
- acdha 12y agoFor reference, that's considerably less than the inflation-adjusted starting pay (roughly $22 USD now) at my first software job in 1996 doing QA work.
- krschultz 12y agoThat's insane. I made more than that as an intern in college writing code. We paid our current interns more than that the last time I checked. I don't know what your background is, but get your LinkedIn profile polished and you should be getting multiple recruiter emails a week inviting you to interview. That's where the market is right now.
- crazypyro 12y agoJust a funny note, those values ($60 and 45 EUR) are almost exactly the same, to the .1. I don't know if you meant for that.
- bulte-rs 12y agoYeah, it's the same... https://www.google.nl/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=60%20usd%20in%20eur https://www.google.nl/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&es...
