You might price yourself out of a job!
While the SF Bay Area is an expensive place to live, often that has nothing
to do with compensation. For $120K + benefits, you would have to be a
stellar Remedy developer with solid credentials, and you would need to find
an employer with a strong need for an permanent fulltime AR System or ITSM
developer. Good luck with that. San Jose has no shortage of developers so
you will have plenty of competition. Feel free to contact me directly (off
the ARSlist) if you are interested in contacting some local headhunters.
An alternative is consulting/contracting, where rates of $50/hour -
$100/hour are possible. The equivalent of $120K salary plus 33% burden rate
is $160K/year, or $80/hour. Going through an agency will reduce your
compensation by 30-40%, so an engagement billing at $100/hour would be
$60-70/hour to you. Check the job boards (Dice, Monster, etc.) for
availability.
Also, are you strictly looking at San Jose, or would you also consider
opportunities on the peninsula or in San Francisco?
