据同事讲,近几年rate 一直在掉,现在是$45-55的样子。我印象中至少要有75的吧。
有谁在做contract,or freelance consulting,现在的市场真的这么差吗? 谢谢 |
t****g 发帖数: 35582 | 2 这个价还不如去给人作full time employeee拿到的pay check吧。
principal software engineer的工资怎么也有120K以上吧。
做consulting还得自己买保险,交ssn。。。

t****g 发帖数: 35582 | 5 我觉得你们可能是在talk about different things。
一种case是公司不愿意雇full time employee,非关键性,非长期职位,找个
consultant来做,其实就相当于临时工,现在经济不景气,可能compensation是在下降。
一种是high end的consulting,比如那活没几个人能搞定的,只有你有那金刚钻能揽瓷
器活。
说白了,rate其实就是买卖双方bargain结果,对于consultant来说,就是看自身的
skill以及和自己竞争的competitor的skill,是吧。

let me give a baseline of what I am thinking for two cases you listed:

bottom line, the market is so hot, 75$ an hour is in the low bar.
一种是high end的consulting,比如那活没几个人能搞定的,只有你有那金刚钻能揽瓷

This is professional consulting with special domain expertise, 120$ is the
low low end of bar. A lot of time it goes to 150$ +
降。 |

Don't know. Maybe area dependent. In our area, usually $50-70 with a
master degree + 3-5 yr experience, our salary is usually lower than software
industry. $45 is really low a principal position in software industry.
This one, $120-150 maybe for people who do it as a 2nd job, no
committment on the speed of progress
and availibility. Professional consulting as his/her main job may charge
starting at $200/hr I guess.

m*********3 发帖数: 158 | 9 谢谢。 我也觉得这个同事说得有点没谱。 看来$75还是比较合理的要价哈。
我在7年前接到中西部的活,他们当时出价就是75。 |

S*******s 发帖数: 10098 | 11 水管工属于计件制工资,有的时候没工作; 教授是全时制工资,连续性工资。
训练一个水管工要9年,训练一个教授的时间恐怕要长那么3-4年。
