Can I have the job?  I'll give up C++, Java and enterprise applications if I

can have $150 an hour for ASP, VB, flash, DHTML etc...


;o)


Seriously, $150 per hour is insane, I know one person getting $140 an our

doing enterprise java and thats because he runs the contract agency so there

is no middle man.  A really hot System architect with 4 years Java, UML, and

years of C++ could get around $100 - $120 an hour in Atlanta  and he would

have to be hot sh*t.


For the skills listed I would say the Atlanta market would support $30 - $50

($62K - $104K) an hour depending on the client and skill level.  Going full

time could yield $50K - $80K ($25 per hour - $38 per hour) plus benefits,

medical etc.. Again depending on the client and skill level.  


I am a contractor for one of the major web solution providers iXL, and I do

a lot of the interviewing of candidates on the Engineering side (Java, C++,

UML etc..)
