I have been trying to do research on this and the rates are all over the board. I am currently in a full time position as a lead Oracle/VB/Java developer. I gave up my own business to go full time to do the family thing. No I would like to go back and reopen my business. First though I would like to go through a consulting/placement firm to do my consulting. What rates are we at. 6 years ago my rate was 90.00/hour. here is a summary of experience
15 year prog experience:
VB
Oracle pl/sql, SQl, DBA
Java - J2ee/Websphere

I do not want to be short changed like I was 10 years ago!!! I want to rebuild the foundation to have my own Co. again.

THanks

What is 1099? I don't expect it to be a year. If it is something US specific (and don't ask me why but I can feel it is

), bear in mind that this is an international forum and that the world does expand outside the borders of the "land of the Free" Wink

.

But on topic:
If I look at your (brief) list I cannot see any true field of expertise. This might backfire.
Anyway, rates are based on the level of the actual job (and the responsibilities it comes with), level of expertise in that particular domain, location, ... . I mean: a Java developer in Dallas (US)can have a different hourly rate than a DBA in Salt Lake City (US) or an Oracle developer in Utrecht (NL) or a VB tester in Bangalore (IN)...

I had the same feeling, "this is an international forum" but I googled (good grief, a trademark as a verb) '1099' and found that 1099 IS a product of the 'land of the free' (but who kidnap all foreign tourists going to Canada via Hawaii and pass them through their border control system, whether they wish to enter the US of A or not). Anyway, have a look at www.1099.com, or talk to a few agents, they know how much a particular skill set is paying in a particular location.

It is just a terminology ( actually a form ) used for tax purposes.
A typical employee gets W2 form.
A typical self-employed / independent contractor gets a 1099 form.
Just another reason, to keep in mind that this a world wide portal.

rates will vary by location in US. East coast/West Coast/ midwest
travel or work from home, onsite short-term project,

If you go thru another firm to get work, what is there overhead, some are upfront with you, other hide client bill rate to low ball you.

Need to determine what/where your working and get a feel for market place.
