Hello guys,
I was wondering what is the highest yearly salary (as contractor) I could get as a Senior Software Engineer/Developer (including MS and Google ones).
150k$? or it is somewhere between 100-150k$? 75-100k$?
Regards,

hmmm a well known multinational, not financial. Say Western Europe/UK area.For instance in UK working for evil companies can earn you £100k+ (as example my friend is on £117k, but he knows people earning close to £1000 per day).

Ugh, how can you go £1k/day/year out of management positions??? For a short term contracts it's possible, but can you really go beyond the £400-450/day for longer contracts - without getting on management, I mean.
Yes, £1k/day for a software developer, mainly web based, and yes, job is in finance sector (hedge funds).
I was supposing it was the financial fields - the problem of getting such contracts is that... you must have had one already, in order to get one!
this describes almost every job in France except doing dishes and mc donalds.
Or find out what's in demand when it comes to some of the more esoteric stuff that not every CS grad can (or would want to) do. People who know, say SAS, will always be in sought after in industries that care more about things being done correctly and on time than how much they pay for it (finance, pharma, risk analysis, business analytics, etc.).I was supposing it was the financial fields - the problem of getting such contracts is that... you must have had one already, in order to get one!

Well, if the friend of your friend needs advanced ITSEC for their stuff, he can make me a whistle ...1k/day... damn, I'd work for 6 years and then retire ...on a more serious side, at least I know now that those advertised contracts are not fakes!
It's a bit curious your sentence about the financial field... is it boring over the time? I made a software for a trader's friend once -it was all about indicators, candlesticks and some AI to grab results. Interesting, but probably after a while it might start being like accountancy software development...
(the best i've seen excluding financial's is £3-400/day, and often for very specific skillsets)
Yeah, sky's pretty much the limit here if you're really good. With a BS, I think these days you can usually expect to start in the $40k-$80k range, depending upon where you get a job. You can get quite a lot more with a better degree. Eventual earnings depend hugely upon what company you go to and what your performance is (and whether your company is good about offering raises based upon performance).Hello guys,
