As I replied to Jerry, it depends on where the job's located. If it is a remote contract job and the candidate lives in Trivandrum, India - that'd be an extremely good sum of money.

Now Nish, I said 'bucks', American slang representing a "U.S." dollar.
Yeah, my calculations were in bucks too. USD 20/hr * 8 hours a day * 23 days a month * 12 months an year = US$ 44, 160. All the figures in my previous post were in USD.

Well, I should have made this clear in my first post - but a lot of Indian salaries are now mentioned in USD :-) Anyway, I got your point - you were talking about a job for a US location. But I was pointing out a corollary that the job could be easily given to a contract developer located in Trivandrum (my home town in India).

It isn't and you should not promte it as such. Pardon the two-reply to your post.

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkIt can be, just as in the location perspective that you put it. However, here in southern California it would only be good for someone who is in their junior/senior year in college, but not for a degreed (or multi-degreed) professional with 10+ years of experience.

I wouldn't have - but it wasn't 100% obvious from your first post that the job was for a US-specific location. "Buck" is now universally used and is not really restricted to the US$. In addition, international salaries are also quite frequently expressed in US$.

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkOk... Not sore, per se, but I think it a shame that someone tries to justify a low ball salary and their reasoning is someone else is stupid/pathetic/desperate enough to accept it.

How is it stupid/pathetic/desperate to accept a salary that's 4 times the industry average in your home-town?

Yep, I totally agree that it would be an awful salary for anyone living in the States (not just California).

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkLike I just asked Jerry, where is it located? If in a major metropolitan area, it would bite, but if the job is located in a rural U.S. area, then it could be a starting point. Again, the bottom line is location :)
