> $11/ hr accepting that is part of the reason why people think > they can pay developers peanuts
Here, here. Denver is a big city comparable to L.A., where I am. And in this city, bag boys at grocery stores are making $11/hr. Even way back in '97 when I was in my last corporate job, it was costing us $15/hr. just to have a temp come in and put papers in a filing cabinet. Is that how you see yourself? As unskilled labor??? Now if the idea is just that the guy wants to check you out and make sure you can do the work, then I might give him a few DAYS at $11/hr. and then revert to an honest pay scale if he wants to keep you... And this assumes that you don't have any references or much in the way of code samples to share. The real question then becomes 'how long is it going to take to get you up to speed?' If the guy is thinking several months, then you would clearly be foolish to accept that offer. If you don't respect yourself, no one else will either... And your getting 'up to speed' could take a very long time indeed.
