I work for a large consulting firm and although I don’t know exactly how much they charge the client for my time, I know it is well over $100 an hour. They charge more than that for junior consultants straight out of college and I am a senior consultant. I only get part of that rate though but it was what I based my answer on.
Answered before I read the poll. I responded with my hourly wage (initially typed that as “rage” – heh). However, I get billed out at well over $100/hr.
Yeah, for professionals that bill their time, the hourly rate charged to clients and the hourly rate computed as montly salary divided by 170 are going to yield vastly different numbers, and with the higher one being different for different people. However, given that your poll tops out at a hundred lousy bucks, my answer is the same computed both ways.
Based on my last two checks, looks like about 30. It varies quite a bit though since a chunk of my income is commission.
Bah, forgot to include workers comp, health insurance and all that. It’s quite a bit higher with those things included. The $30 estimate was just cash compensation.
