Realize that the charge I stated is about 1.5 times the going rate for a consultant hired through a consulting contracting company in the Silicon Valley. These companies normally operate at a 40%-60% profit (they have their employees over a barrel, since most have obtained their work visa through the consulting company, so they can't go work elsewhere). So consider that 60% is common: $170,000 * .4 = $68,000 going to the contractor themselves. That's $136,000/year, asumming it took 6 months for the work, or $91,000, without the 1.5 * premium. If you think that is a lot of money, and have a visa or a green card, and are willing to work without stock options, and are of any quality at all, I suggest: http://www.whistle.com/employment/employ-engg.html Or you can go to any one of thousands of other companies, on similar terms. NB: And if you wouldn't charge a 1.5 times premium to have to figure out Windows compatability code from disk image deltas, you're clinically insane).
