[quote=AN]With regards to your $200k and $400/hr example, you and I both know that’s not the norm and we don’t know what is meant by computer engineer. IIRC, you brought this up before and it was some special system architect that is fetching that kind of pay, no? Your average “software/computer engineer” will not fetch anywhere near $400/hr. Using that example is as relevant as me using fresh grad fetching $40/hr. I have to use what the term is really used for in my industry, which means your peon developer.[/quote]
The $200K and $400/hr is an outlier. But in the space I worked, the $150K/$210 per hour is not. It’s the norm. And the $210/hr will cost well in excess of $270K a year to the customer. I don’t know what space you work in, but it’s not the only one out there.
