Hi All,

I'd be interested to learn what a VBA professional charges per hour in
the U.S. and U.K. nowadays.

Thanx for your replies.


I wouldn't think there's any meaningful answer without a specific
location.

Major financial centers:Rural settings..... huge diffs - in both
hourly rates and living expenses.

Even within a given area, there are very large differences
depending on organization and employment method.


Independent contractor dealing direct with the company, working
on a project where he's just a miniscule slice of a humongous pie
is one extreme.

Somebody working through an agency that skims 30-40 percent off
the top and being placed in a business enterprise that isn't
doing that well might be another extreme.

In the two above and an urban setting think $100/hour vs
$32.50/hour.


Thanx, and OK, poin taken. Let me rephrase te question: what is the
going hourly rate for the no-contract, freelancing VBA programming in
the U.K. and U.S.?
