Cut out the recruiter.

Recruiter is probably taking a cut.

You're getting lowballed. That works out to be $560/day assuming an 8-hour day.

I'm a senior CW in NYC (7 years exp) and have gotten up to $125/hour. On a day rate I've gotten $1000-$1375/day.

You should be asking for $100-150/hour.

@SeniorCW2 Hm, I understand that recruiters generally take a cut. I’ve gotten $100-$125 in the past through employee connections. Wondering what’s the norm through recruiters. They’ve all been telling me that $100/hr is for ACD positions

I'm a CD with 20 years and right now I get laughed at when I ask for $100/hr.

Depends on the city but I would say at least $100

This is for NYC

Yea I’m nyc and depending on your work you can get $100 easy.

SCW1 are you in Chicago?

Seems low, but they do take a cut. I'd definitely counter offer with a hard minimum for any project with said recruiter so neither of you waste each other's time.

You're getting a good rate through a recruiter yes. They keep a big % that's why your cut comes out to $70. The rates most of the folks are talking about above are when it's just between you and the employer. I've gotten $50/hr through a staffing (to be specific) agency arrangement.

Recruiters take 50% from my experience. So, $70 is pretty good from that perspective. I often see hourly gigs for senior positions for god awful rates because of that. (Like $35/hr.) Sadly, someone must be accepting that.

Please let me know how much I can ask for.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Have you had to change your start date after accepting an offer and how did it go? I told them I need to give 30 day notice and so I set my start date (incorrectly) assuming the background check and drug screen would take a few days to clear. However, the drug screen is now taking over a week and a half (still not finished, maybe tomorrow). Apparently things are much slower due to staffing issues and labs are backed up. It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?
