That really depends on the definition of 'qualified' people doesn't it. I mean why would someone who is really qualified (in the true sense of the word) accept something lesser than what he/she thinks she is capable of making. Especially when you know that the city you are going to be working in would not afford you even the bare minimum at 2200 a week, which leaves you with a fraction over 1500 after taxes.
My average travel expense on this project is sometimes almost that much even at optimized rates as I do a corporate rate on both my hotels and my rental car to save a few hundred bucks. So what are you left with - like a 100 bucks a week if you accept 55 an hour all inclusive? It would be cheaper to work in social services at that rate and get a tax break! It would be nice to hear from people who accept those kind of rates on how they manage their economics! I know I sure as hell wouldn't be able to manage mine at those rates..

I don't see the logic in working for that kind of rate - many perm jobs pay more, with full benefits. I guess pathetically low rates like this will be offered as long as qualified people accept them. Others have to make their own choices, but times would have to be pretty bad for me to do so.

Gas is perhaps the most expensive in the US in the DC / Virginia region - whats it like there now 4 buck 50 to a gallon? And if you choose to live in the outskirts of Baltimore which might be cheaper on rents, you'll still end up paying the difference on gas. And cost of living is almost as high as NY if not higher - with more than 200 pubs to go to I can see how it can go pretty high :-).. Maybe someone from Baltimore would be in a better position to comment on the cost of living there.. ----- Original Message ---- From: Daniel Bloom on Sympatico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 9, 2008 6:33:07 AM Subject: Re: Job: Remedy Developer (Mid Level) - Contract - Baltimore, MD - Kforce At junior level rates. _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Thomas Sent: October 8, 2008 8:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Job: Remedy Developer (Mid Level) - Contract - Baltimore, MD - Kforce ** Only Senior Level positions.
