rradina join:2000-08-08 Chesterfield, MO	reply to nixen Unless we're talking a fresh college grad working for a large national firm that's billing $150/hour and paying peanuts or a position where work is not constant (10 or 20 hours/week max), that shouldn't be the case. As a software developer (consistent 40+ hour weeks) I contracted from 1993 to 2001 and depending on the firm, I was directly paid anywhere from 50% to 70% of my rate. This is with 401K matching and benefits.
