Sam, You're a funny guy. I'll remember that next time you call.
Hourly and 1099 rates will be a little different. Usually hourly employees get paid straight hours and don't get vacation time or paid time off. If you want to figure out hourly equivalent just divide the salary by 1960. If you want to know a decent 1099 rate multiple the salary by 1.3 and divide by 1960. Take a 100K salary Hourly - 100000/1960 = $51/hr 1099 - (100000*1.3)/1960 = $66/hr This should at least give you a ballpark figure. Sometimes a 1099 could demand a higher rate, but there are also higher risks and more headaches. I'm sure there could be a huge discussion on 1099 work alone. Bottom line is ask what you think you are worth. The worst they can say is no. If you shoot too high more than likely they won't even entertain going back and forth with negotiations. If you shoot to low. You will probably get the job, but shame on you for not doing your homework ahead of time to see what others were making in that area with the same experience. Also, many organizations want the super Remedy guru, but only can afford $65/hr. They will try their hardest to get the guru, but they shouldn't be fooled into thinking that the $65/hr person is their guru. I think someone else mentioned salary.com. Also, look through dice, monster, and glassdoor. If all else fails multiple your current salary by 1.15 and ask for that. A 15% raise to start a new job is pretty good.

I recall a conversation I had with some of my colleagues at a dot.com. They were baffled at why they could not break the 55 phr rate once they left. The reason as Brian Pancia mentioned was due to their length of time on one environment and the roles they played. Those with experience in mobile, development, architecture, etc tend to demand more. There is a plethora of work today. FYI It seems a large healthcare organization just realized they do not have the budget for a BMC Architect position. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are" _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
