What is your (or your employer's) hourly rate for contract app development? (37 responses)
The average rate was $104. If I remove some of the outliers, the average is $112.
Salaries and benefits poll (35 responses):
This poll ran separately from the above.
The average over the whole dataset was $105,000. I tried to exclude some of the outliers ($85k to $130k) and the average was $112,000. But that is a pretty strong signal at $120k.
