[cfaussie] Re: CF Contractor Rates
I think when comparing rates region to region, one would also have to keep in mind that we have varying tax structures... i think it is best to compare what ones after tax income/rate in relation to the region's standard of living rather than the dollar amount of the charge rate... Also I reckon Kai is right, it depends on what sort of projects you would tackle, will directly relate to how much you can charge ... Just my 2 cents, Chong -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group. To post to this group, send email to cfaus...@googlegroups.com.

I'd say Oz isn't very far behind Europe, I'm from oz but now in the for the last UK 4.5 years avg for the UK is £35ph, £35 = $58aud the Aussie $ is quite high, 4 years ago £35 = $91aud during the recession (we had one here, a proper one) some good developers I know had to take lower rates like £30 95% of all cf devs wouldn't be able to get over £40 £40 = $66aud even now £40 would be quite high, Most good devs that I've worked with here that have gone over to mainland europe aren't on much more. If anything I'd say Australia is a much more cheaper place to live and has higher wages (due to the strong $AUD) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.

I'd also think that if you are contracting in the US, you have make up for the health package you would get on salary? Hence rates would be more?

[cfaussie] Re: CF Contractor Rates
In my experience, you're hard-pressed to go beyond the $65 to $85 per hour if what you're doing is described as 'CF Development'. While you may in fact wind up assisting in analysis, design, strategy and all the rest of it, when it comes to getting paid, if you're in this space, you're considered a 'coder'. The only place I make really good bucks is in the consulting area, often right away from the technology in such things as business process analysis and design, requirements docs, etc. Overall, I think the agencies have made us into a commodity, by offering some kind of standardised packaging to the market and then competing with each other on price to get the business. Well, I guess you're looking from the other side Dale, so this won't be all bad news to you?
