I am based in the UK and until a couple of years ago worked as a contract developer for years and enjoyed very healthy rates! Even 5 years ago the “going rate” for a SharePoint developer was £400 – £500 day. Has that changed nowadays, what rates are on offer where you are ? SharePoint Admins were usually about 50 – 100 lower, has that gap closed ?
There’s now way more people on the market – SharePoint is massive, so what’s that done to rates ? Is it still a gravy train ? Has Outsourcing / Off-shoring changed things ?
Hi Perry,
I am in Quebec and that’s the usual rate. It might be lower for long term projects (1 year+). The problem in Canada currently, is there are way to many companies that pay salaries from R&D only, so the set prices a lot lower since it’s all profit. That will slowly bring the Market down for SharePoint Consultants.
