Hi,
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.
Here is the contract description:
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.
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.
Is the compensation fair? Any ideas why I received such a lukewarm
response?
Your feedback is much appreciated.
Keith
