Perhaps if the position was for running a bank, but this is for a developer position. Good developers are in demand and even 80k is low. Adult tends to be cheap, wanting more bang for little buck, so I can understand your response.

But i do have 1 "fact".

Most programmers have heads bigger than their actual wallets.

What I am saying is there are plenty of jobs available. You just have to meet the criteria. If you are an entry level developer, sure it might be difficult, but if you have the skills, it's not that difficult.

Unless that new hire is fresh out of college or has a slight understanding of whats going on, its a lowball...

New hire does not mean not qualified and doesn't deserve pay as they should.

I'll do it for tree fiddy.

Most non-programmers can have the same thing said for them, why do you think its so hard to find a good programmer?

yea you're right...all the programmers in this thread are AMAZINGLY good, drive ferraris & dont work for me

PHP Code:


		
			
if($sands == 'cool') {echo 'Yaaay!';} else {echo 'Booo!'}

Disagree :2 cents:

The post dot-com tech world is pretty low paying, especially for an average php developer position... I've seen many offers starting at the 30-40k range get filled pretty quick.

Obviously being a freelance consultant is a lot different than having a dayjob.

I've never seen a lead on $80k :2 cents:

The curlies are really imporant when on a team. If a junior programmer adds code, he may miss that they were never there to begin with and the program fucks up.

I agree that 65-80k is low. Anyone you get, will only stay until they find a real job. Maybe that is your goal though - to find a cheap programmer for 3 months.

I think every prog is on board until they find a better deal. In LA a good prog will go for 95k. I think Texas Instruments pays 250k + tons of benefits for MIT grads. So enjoy a good prog while you've got them the market will eventually take them away from you.

Better to just hire a programming company to do the work then you've got someone to yell at at the end of the day aside from yourself.

Maybe it's your location. Yes, 30-40k range are filling up ... for junior developers, but not lead developers. I get emails regularly for interviews at places starting at 90k+ with what I would consider a low end senior developer.

You fail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

hell, i'd probably do full time for about 90-100k

quality interview thread :thumbsup

At least they seem to know what they want, most don't have a clue.

If a person did have those skills they could be a great asset to a company.

just a bump for all programmers here :):):)

Lol and here I am paying $600/mo to my lead developers! Haha.

Good thread, keep it going.

I'm sure a bump in salary can be discussed if the candidate is that great. The employer will also pay for all relocation costs!

Yeah, I have 5 full time programmers and I don't pay anywhere near 80k a year total for them. They are top notch guys too and earm 3 to 4 times what most people in their town make. :2 cents:

Code:

switch ($sands) {

case "cool":

    echo "Yaaay!";

    break;

default:

    echo "Boooo!";

}

Code:

$sands="cool";

     while($sands != "not cool"){

        echo "Yaaay!";

}

else

{

     echo "Booo!";

}

I love abusing ternary, too.

Code:

<?php

define('RAD', TRUE);

define('BOGUS', FALSE);

define('DUDE', '');

define('NOWAY', 'Fucknaw.');

define('TOTALLY', 'Furshure.');

define('BEDAT', '==');

echo ( DUDE . $sands . BEDAT . RAD . DUDE ? TOTALLY . DUDE : NOWAY . DUDE) ."\n";

?>

i cod guud :thumbsup

Nop nop nop nop nop nop nop nop nop

I must not code. Code is the mind-killer. Code is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my code. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when my code is gone I will turn and face PHP's path, and only I will remain.

I have 1/5th of these qualifications and I wouldn't do the job for less than $200K a year... But then that is because I actually know how to turn that 1/5th into cold hard cash...

As far as pay goes...

I can see the lower level guy taking $75K and liking it... Thinking this is a step into more experience...

But the team leader should be asking for $100-120K and they should be getting a signing bonus + moving expenses...

Salary isn't everything, BUT if you're expecting to get a guy in for 60-80hrs a week then obviously that salary isn't even close BUT if its a good 9-5 type job or hell 11-7 I prefer with flexibility and perks its not bad at all.

You are correct. I don't know how bad the economy is...

I make enough to not have to worry about it...

I make $150K doing my own thing. If someone wants to hire me to program, they will need to beat that.
