RE: FLASH: Salaries

[David Jacobs]

Let's put it this way, assuming approximately two years of experience,

posting to monster.com with those skills listed on your resume will cause

over two dozen local recruiters to call you within 24 hours with ranges

offered from $60k to $80 a year. This is for the St. Louis area, and I am

speaking from experience (thus my sig will be changing soon!). Keep in mind

that this is for contract and contract-to-hire. Straight salaries are going

to average nearly $20k less.


Different markets will produce different results. For most major

metropolitan areas this will be about right. In localities where the cost of

living is much higher (Manhattan for instance), salaries will keep pace

somewhat.


Also keep in mind that this is for programming positions, mostly for ASP and

VB skills (as I mentioned earlier). There isn't much of a market in St.

Louis for Flash (yet), but from what I've seen Flash skills are not worth

nearly as much. Expect a $40k to $50k range for Flash alone, slightly more

with significant graphic design skills.


BTW, for those of you looking for work, I *highly* recommend monster.com.

The response rate is *much* higher there than most other job search sites.

Just be prepared for an absolute deluge of calls!
