I've seen people charge anywhere from $25-100/hr for various computer related consulting. Unfortunately nobody likes to share how much they charge as it tends to be a not for public consumption. If I weren't already doing some consulting (albeit on the side), I'd pick a number between $25-100 that is more than what I'd be making at a similar full time or even contract gig (and you can call recruiters to find those out). Then just keep to that. But really the rate doesn't matter so much as the quality of service.... of course, I'm not the small business owner cutting you the check, so what do I know. -d On 4/3/07, Florin Iucha <florin at iucha.net> wrote: > > Guys, > > What are some good resources on consulting rates?
