[Robert Critelli]

[Matthew Hajicek - Singularity]

What happened to the last guy?

[elaganis]

Didn't work out and we couldn't get him to learn Mastercam well enough-even with training classes. I just didn't think it's that hard-but I'm bias since I've used 4-5 different CAM packages over the last 15 years.

See Dragracer1951's post on hiring questions. For a good programmer these days, $30/hr is the minimum for anyone decent. Unless you are cutting 2D patterns out of flat sheet.

 

I do contract training services on the side and I'm turning away work constantly. I charge a lot more than $30 an hour, and I'm worth every penny.

When I do contract programming I get $45 and all I do is mostly 2D router programming. I also setup machine and prove out programs as well. Sitting in a speaker mfg. right now waiting on the owner to hand me his speaker design so I can program it.

dang tommy wanna share some of that gravy, lol.

 

hope i didnt put a damper on this guys search, just wanted to ad some food for thought as i hear it is pretty expensive livin in NJ.

bummer for employers but fact is if your good at what you do and it aint makin ends meet your likely to apply your skills to what does make ends meet.

sure would like to encourage US manufacturing to realise this.

I'm dion' a contract job right now @ $50/hour, not to exceed $3000 in Chi-Town. I priced myself low for the area with hopes to get more work from this resource sometime down the road.

[TR Mfg.]

Not to pull your chain to much but that isn't top dolloar here in Indiana and our living cost is much lower. I know of a shop that only pays programmers like $15 an hour and the owner can't figure out why he has to put a new spindel in every year and farms out more work to us than they do in house.

Contract work here in SoCal ranges from $50/hr on the extreme low to about $120/hr on the extreme high. From what I've seen lately though, the general range is $65-$80/hr.

[elaganis]

Guys,

This is not a contract position! Yes we do pay over $50/hr for contract programmers here in NJ (actually typical is $75-95$/hr. depending on complexity) I know because I’ve done it. However, I understand what that encompasses-which is non-steady work, no benefits, driving all over the tri-state area in traffic, and worst off customers who won’t pay invoices for 60 days. Thanks but No Thanks.

From what job recruiters have told us it’s a fair rate. Additionally, this is not a dirty production shop with piles of works, outdated equipment, and angry bosses. We also, have good benefits (vacations, personal days, sick days, 401K, etc.). I know many shops in the local area that don’t even come close to this. Would we be willing to pay more than $30/hr? The answer is yes but that individual has to bring some value-add to the facility. Most of us here are highly skilled CAD/CAM/CNC users so we’d expect to learn off of them and not the other way around if they command the higher salary.
