Hi, Just my two cents worth on this (albeit slightly off topic) - it's not all about technical ability or the industry you are working in.
Most clients are willing to pay that extra premium for contractors who are able to manage expectations and go above and beyond. I've seen many great developers with amazing skills go unnoticed, primarily because they don't know how to handle clients, clear and concise communication plays a huge part in pricing. The other problem is that the market is flooded with charlatans, who are driving the prices up and make it even more diluted for the rest of us. You also have to remember that many people don't factor in project management and sales/phone calls into the hourly rate - they simply absorb the costs - which further drives it down. Cut a long story short though, I personally think that around £1700/month after tax is the 'sweet spot' for any developer (assuming you're not in the city). Anything beyond that is a bonus :) Cal On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 8:00 AM, Raphael <developm...@develissimo.com> wrote: > ** > Hello Kurtis, > > thank you for letting is know about C.
