I just so happen to be working on our db for contractors this afternoon and can report that the hourly rate we pay for full-time contractors varies from about $40 to over $100. However, all of them come to us from contracting companies, so the individual only receives a portion of the rate. Some of them are salaried employees of the contracting company but most are sub-contractors. Charles Wortz Software Development Division Texas Education Agency 1701 N.

Rate for first time I'm not an independent. I work full time as a salaried developer and contract and consult on the side. In my previous job, I actually worked as a contract employee for the feds, but my employer was the contractor, so I had the best of both worlds ... until they lost the contract. I could have stayed on with the new contractor but knew it would never work because I have a bad habit of saying exactly what I think, regardless of how exalted the other person thinks they are. <vbg> So I went out and found myself this job. I've been lucky so far. As soon as one job begins to pall, I fall into another that gives me new experience and that I like even better. At the same time, I sometimes work for a company that provides contact employees, but that is strictly part-time when it occurs. I have a friend who is a project manager, so she finds projects and then gets them to add me on as the database person on the project. As long as I can work evenings and weekends, it works beautifully. Charlotte Foust -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
