<List Articles>Hall Of Shame - Expert PHP Senior Developer
Originally posted April 28, 2008
This guy came so close, too. The posting manages to list everything that is indeed important to being a good PHP developer, so kudos for that.
The failing, however, was the offered wage. $40-60 an hour is par for a full-time developer, but if you're looking for a freelancer, you've got to realize that those working solo get smacked with all sorts of extra expenses that full-time developers don't get hit with.
There have been some really great discussions on the NYPHP mailing list and Chris Shiflett's blog about what a "good rate" is in NYC. The bottom line is that you can expect to pay a good freelance about 2.5 times what you'd pay a full-time developer.
