The DoD jobs have held pretty steady. but the private sector is really trying to
hire cheap, and what bothers me, is that they are still getting applicants.
That low of an hourly rate is what I consider the educational rate - mostly for
college students on an internship.
Most moderately experienced independents were in the range of $40-45 hourly, but
there are enough of them available that bids are in the $25.00 range for new
gigs.
The strongest competition for ColdFusion developers is off-shore -and they are
promoting themselves quite well, do very good work, and charge really low rates.
The headhunters love them because of the increased profit margins.

| Doug, that's very low. Where abouts are you located?

| In this area CF'ers are earning from $23k to 55K annual full time employed.
| with a median around $33k.
| consultants are going anywhere from $22.50 per hour to around $45. I have not
| seen anything in two years over that in this area, except for DoD jobs (with
| clearances) which are in the $65-75k range.
|
| I am seeing more and more offers being made in the $12-15 per hour range, and
| still getting applicants.
|
| Not a great state of affairs, but improving slightly of late. Kind of glad I
am
| retired.

| | Before everyone starts saying that this information is illegal due to price
| | fixing, please be aware that we've bashed that topic to death and as long as
| | we're NOT setting a price level for our work, there is NO issue.
| | That being said, I've been seeing a few jobs fly around in the 60 range, but
I
| | think that is mostly due to head hunters fees. The same jobs without the
| | headhunter goes for a few thousand more. Before the dot bomb, I was making
| | $120,000/year and had a contract after for 18k/month (then 16k/month). Now
its
| | impossible to find contracts of the sort. I'm looking for jobs in the
90k-110k
| | range.
