Is $87 an hour good in Brooklyn, NY.?
I dont know much about the NYC market, but just wondering if that is the right rate. one of my friend indicated that it could go as high as $100.
Senior software engineer with 15 yr exp. Mostly MS tech stack.
It’s low, very low.
Isn’t this like $180k base? How is that low?
Sounds sarcastic...
Depending on the project / industry / size of firm... I normally see 90-120 for senior positions and 60-80 for junior Make sure you incorporate, so you can manage your taxes + expenses. Doing that will net you more than benefits most places
Seems low if it’s Contracting. Keep in mind no 401k matching, health insurance, you pay all the social security taxes, etc
I know. What is the good rate? I think the middle guy is trying to screw
Is it a financial client? If so the most they will pay per day to the vendor is $1600, and that is for a very senior and specialized role. Otherwise the max is probably around 1200, which means you will at most make 1000/day. Which puts you at 125/hr. However, if you’re talking about another kind of company (other than banks, IB, HF, other boutiques), then 125/hr is a real stretch. You can probably get to 100/hr. Note that I’m talking about corp-to-corp (C2C) rates here, not W-2. W-2 will certainly be lower by at least 15%. So 87/hr on a W-2 might be fair, but try for C2C at 100.
Convert to yearly for comparison. Then check levels.fyi For 15 yoe people here would consider low anything below 300k working just 47 weeks. If you work 52 weeks at that rate it’d be 180k.
Check the other post where a lad/lass got offer of 290K with 5.5 yoe... (of which only 2.5 in the US)
That’s fine, you won’t find higher in nyc unless you are working at a FAANG or financial.
I am not sure. I am getting conflicting answers. I am looking at the linked jobs and all of them has projected salary figures of 110-150K. Why so? Is Linked in projected salary is too low? I am not really sure. If I don’t know the range, I will either quote too much, which leads to them ignoring me. If I quote too low, I am screwed.
LinkedIn is not reliable for salary data.
Dude... go fte and your problem solved.
No benefits. Just an hourly rate.
