I have been out of touch with the rates question for a while. When I look
at the DICE Salary Survey it indicates that the mean rate is
Something like $75/hr for all contract work. Of course we in the Security
field should be doing better... but the recruiters I talk to
Tell me that people are going out for half what they did 18 months ago. I
tend to discount what they say, because their job it to
Talk us down in price, and their Clients up in price, at all times. So I'm
taking my own informal survey. I can promise that anyone
Who responds directly to me will remain anonymous. I have no intentions of
using this info for more than my own contract search
& negotiations. Specifically what are the rates for someone who has had
over 20 years of Industry experience, 25 years of security
experience, 6 years of computer and network security consulting, and 15
years of UNIX experience. This kind of background used
to bring in between $110/hr - $200/hr, depending on length of contract.
