Also not fair to totally point the finger at IBM who are probably
paying,
AT LEAST, double the money being quoted.
They're not. The latest matrix price I saw for this position was $50.
That's full time though, right? If you round to 2,000 hours annually
that's U.S. $100,000 plus benefits plus bonuses with a Poughkeepsie cost
of living, and that's not bad. I think that's a bit higher than for other
programming languages (e.g. BASIC), if the compensation surveys I've seen
are accurate.

Ennhhhhh, thank you for playing. The $50 goes to the pimp, who turns around
and maybe coughs up $35 to a W-2 who's paying for his own health care, etc.
Benefits? Bonuses? Maybe if you're an IBM employee, but not a consultant.
That's what I love about most full-timers. They look at the bill rate,
multiply by 2000 hours and think that's all there is. Never mind the health
care, the 15% Medicare and Social Security, disability insurance,
unemployment insurance, etc.
