Hey Randall,

Even though I'm an independent and charge my clients a volume discount rate of $50 / hour, if they give me volume, which my #1, and now only, client, does. I recently had to check into what Fox guys make. I called a couple of the IT staffing services here in Atlanta, namely ROMAC, which is pretty big, and they said they bill their fox guys out at $65/hr. They pay the programmer $40/hr. So, if you are working as an employee in this part of the country, you should be salaried at or around 60 to 70 grand/year.

Happy hunting,
