Does this include salaried positions? Right now the rate I'm earning is about $41/hr($328/day) in the northeast US at a small company. A few years ago I was getting $50/hr on a consulting gig, but that required a 4 hour commute(2hrs each way to NYC).
I'm primarily a C# developer, but I have experience in C++, Java, SQL, and a little bit of webdev(HTML/JS). I've worked on a few mobile apps in iOS and Android(the latter with Xamarin). I'm been programming for about 15 years, and I'll be coming up on 10 years of those which have been for professional companies.
I swear, reading some of these responses makes me feel very underpaid.
- dysfunction 12y agoRegular employee is different from contract, as contractor's taxes will be (much) higher and you have benefits such as health insurance included in your salary. I bet that $41/hr as a regular employee goes a lot farther than $50/hr as a contractor. Though that does still seem underpaid for 10 years' experience.
- artmageddon 12y agoYeah, all that had crossed my mind too, thanks for your comment on that. The reason I took this position was largely influenced by the fact I'd have a life. Having a commuting reduction from 2 hours each way to 20 minutes each way has made a huge difference in my quality of life. It's just that now I'd like to try to get more, and I'm in a better position to focus more time on getting myself up to a higher level(rather than fighting for a seat on mass transit).
