Different Joe Im Joe B.
People need to stop acting like Fagan and pay more of the money out they are
billing the consultants out at.
$50 an hour is what most would expect for W2. W2 includes health insurance
and the employer pays = of the social security taxes. Now if anyone cares to
do that job at that rate, and pay for all the things I mentioned, god bless
them, its none of my business. But as a professional consultant I can say,
you do get what you pay for, and If I was the client I would not be very
happy when you bring in a CCNA and bill me $100+ per hour.
P.S. the original poster should consider being less greedy and or setting
the expectations better with the client. You came on to an expert level
board looking for someone who makes Junior level wages. This is not a job
posting board. So dont send us that spam!
Respect given where respect granted.

Joe,
Is this hostility leftover from your 8th attempt?
The base pay yes is 50 x 2080 = 104,000 yearly assuming no overtime.
Yes you are right that after providing their own insurance, that the
position paying that amount on a contracting basis in the LA area is a
little low. You could have pointed this out, hile being a little more
respectful and professional.

Sorry, but $50 an hour is hardly $100k per year... and from that you want me to buy
-business liability insurance -business errors & omissions insurance (usually required to get the first) -the employers 7.2% share of social security (on the first $97,000) -my own health insurance -contribute to my own 401k.
I don't say this lightly, but go $#ck yourself. Do you think anyone any good
is going to do that job for about $60k a year?
