Hi,<br>
<br>
I posted for an entry level LAMP developer a week or so ago figuring I would find a number of people wanting to break into LAMP development. What I received was a lackluster response. I was offering $22/hr 1099 with the potential to bill 40 hours a week. I figured by the time that person pays for health insurance figured at $250/mo, pays he self employment tax, and takes some vacation time and holiday time off, this compensation would be about $18 an hour W2 or $36,000 a year.<br>
<br>
Here is the contract description:<br>
<br>
I am looking for an entry level LAMP developer. Would like someone with entry level PHP skills and entry level Linux skills. Stuff like the ability to add a user, add a sudo user, and configure vhosts on apache. I will give directions with examples and they will be working on a development VPS so if they blow it we just spin up another. As for PHP skills if this person knows how to write a MySql connection string and is able to insert, update, delete and list.... this person could be what I am looking for. This is a maintenance job. This person would need to know some HTML and CSS. jQuery would be a plus.<br>
<br>
This contract could last as long as 2 or 3 years. At that point we would need to either up the compensation or understand when this person takes off for other opportunities.<br>
<br>
Is the compensation fair? Any ideas why I received such a lukewarm response?<br>
<br>
<br>
Your feedback is much appreciated.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
