[UPHPU] Re: [UPHPU-jobs] 1-2 Senior Web Developer(s) - $45K - $65K

[Justin Giboney]

sorry, I meant to send this to the list.

I was recently at a movie rental conference (for independent renters)  
in Vegas, where this issue was being enforced continually by those in- 
charge. I doubt there was any government officials listening to make  
arrests or anything, but those in-charge know the laws and don't want  
to be in trouble.

see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_fixing

How it applies to us?  "informal agreements or unspoken agreements to  
fix price also can violate the antitrust laws. The price-fixing laws  
apply to industries and professionals, for-profit concerns and non- 
profits and charities." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_fixing)

"Methods of price fixing can include selling at a common target  
price; setting a common "minimum" price" (http://en.wikipedia.org/ 
wiki/Price_fixing)

"45k should be starting range for a web developer at any serious
company." - Joshua Simpson

"In my mind about 2-3 years business experience in PHP would merit  
"programmer starting pay" of around $50k" - Ken Snyder

Referring to the prices listed
"Is it just me, or does this seem a bit low for a "senior" web  
developer?" - Jason Jones
"I think the bottom half of the listed range is firmly Jr. level." -  
Lamont Peterson

"What is a fair salary for someone with 5 years experience at a small  
company and no management experience?" - Darrin Keller
