Yes, NYC has something called the "beautiful girl tax", combined with the 6 sushi restaurants and 6 independent movie theaters all within 3 blocks.
AKA "the beautiful girl tax", explained as: dude, I've been living in XXXXX for a year, and I just saw more beautiful women on one block in Manhattan in 5 mins then i have in 12 months living in XXXXX. This is CRAZY, how do you handle it! or something like that, do you guys have an NYC branch? Just wondering! :-) - ed On 1/18/07, Chris Shiflett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Doing some math in reverse: $60 / 2.4 = $25 $25/hour = $50,000/year Therefore, $60/hour as a consultant is approximately equivalent to $50,000/year as a full-time employee with benefits, and that's assuming about 40 billable hours a week. $50,000/year for someone with a graduate degree should not be the "top." If you're a PHP developer who might consider a new career with a company that values its staff, OmniTI (http://omniti.com/home) is always looking for good people. We offer fair salaries and a positive learning environment for people who are passionate about what they do. More to the point, the market is hungry for good PHP developers. Like many companies, we're having a tough time finding enough good people. I really don't like hearing about talented people not being given respect, as past discussions have probably revealed. :-) Chris -- Chris Shiflett http://shiflett.org/ _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
