This weekend I got drawn right into a pretty cool little tool for comparing billing rates for a wide variety of tech skills, over at Hotgigs.com. The data is supposedly derived from thousands of consultant profiles. Just type a programming language or skill in and it returns a little chart with hourly rates for low, medium and high experience levels. From there, look at the lists of ‘similar jobs’ and ‘top skills’ and you might find yourself mis-spending an hour that you might have spent upgrading those very skills!
Grain of salt, right? Still, this sort of thing might be good for lighting a fire under you if you’ve been putting off a skills upgrade, or even a job switch.
