Didn't Kinetic used to do an annual survey of arslist to get demographic data on the Remedy workplace (and to show off Kinetic Survey)? Or did I dream that?
Thad Esser Remedy Developer "Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours."-- Richard Bach "Rick Cook" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "Action Request System discussion list(ARSList)" <[email protected]> 06/08/2007 12:08 PM Please respond to [email protected] To [email protected] cc Subject Re: OT - RE- US Contract Rates? ** Any Remedy professional who works as a contract individual for $25/hr in the U.S. should be beaten with hoses, just for screwing up the market for the rest of us. But that rate could be a decent one in other places. Which illustrates why you can't get good data on this topic - it's too dependent on variables like location, contract type, work definition, qualifications and experience, etc. Even if every consultant in existence responded, I don't know that you would have good enough data to work with, because there wouldn't be enough constancy in the data to be able to define norms. BMC, and a few high-end consulting companies, charge more than the $125-150/hr. that I see as the industry average, not the top end, for U.S. contracts. Compared to rates for other application and business consultants (like SAP) that's comparitively cheap.

I didn't think I was indicting anybody in particular, but just making an observation. Thanks for adding to the conversation and with a literary flair. Thanks to those who replied after my last post validating the info I shared with the list. That summary still stands, more than enough for me. Enjoy the weekend folks.

Two replies I got (one good one) put the range at US$25-$150/hr, but note the unscientific and insufficient sampling. It's probably a realistic range, because people were talking about their observations, not their rates. By my own estimate, $55-$125 is much more common (for development, not administration). Thanks to those who replied. On 6/7/07, Ray T. < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I hear total silence. Anyone? I'm not interested in your rate, but only in your general observations.

Market seems strong, what kind of hourly rates are you seeing? I am specifically interested in US, northeast rates, for experienced architect, developer with process knowledge and with certification, but lets trade all stories. I will trade my limited knowledge with yours. Email to my address directly. If I get enough replies with enough details (rate, length, location, industry, skills required) to compile a meaningful summary, I am willing to share the overall "occupational outlook" with you guys. Thanks.
