IT work rate charges

[brentman]

Does anyone know what typical hourly rates are for outsourcing of IT work?

I know that network installation is roughly $50-70/hour, with WAN work being slightly more expensive.

What about visual basic/asp/etc. programming rates?


Trying to figure out what to charge for contracting out our IT department.

Very tough to say. It depends a lot on your department's experience level.

The one thing I would say for sure, make sure you charge enough to cover their salaries and loaded costs.

programming can range depending on exp. from $40 an hour to $100, i'd say vb programmers are closer to $40

Not sure what world you live in, but in mine rate is contingent upon the requirements, not the implemention language.

Hi. Need a part time .net programmer?

 

[brentman]

No I don't think we need a programmer here. I doubt much if any software work will be contracted, I was just curious.

Sorry I couldn't help ya there. :/

vb programmers are a dime a dozen compared to say kernel mode C developers, in fact there is a magnitude of order more vb programmers then there are of c programmers and simple economics dictate price for their services

Of course. Out of the many devs I know personally, not a single one is an active kernel mode C dev consultant. That's an extremely niche area of development, and not exactly a marketable one for an IT firm.

There are many niche areas of development that a VB programmer could just as easily pursue as a C developer and make the same amount of money. The economics are dominated by the niches you pursue, not the implementation language; however, the implementation languages you choose obviously scope your niches (i.e. a VB dev won't be contracted to build a 3D engine for a flight sim anytime soon).
