Contractor hourly rate negotiation

[Anonymous No.15217491]

An organization wants to hire me as a contractor for a software development job and they want a quote on my hourly rate.

How do I figure out what they're willing to pay?

Tell them your hourly rate. If they agree, they are willing to pay your hourly rate.

Not sure about software but engineers with a PE tend to be billed at $150-200/hr. Id say normal engineers are around $80-120 and technicians are around $60-70.

I'm still in college, but I'm uniquely qualified for this job because I worked on some of this non-profit company's problem's before for free.

Suggest a range as >>15218415 suggests, but bump up the low end and make it an odd number ($163.50 or something). There’s psychology behind this.

you're in college but someone wants to hire your for a contracting gig? and they want to pay an hourly rate? yikes for them. they don't know what they're doing. they want to hire someone with limited experience and pay them per hour instead.... kek.
it's a non-profit too you said, so don't expect much of anything. they aren't going to be able to pay you properly anyway.

What psychology you brainlet? You can't just make a claim and use "psychology" as your source. That's like saying that physics says that keto doesn't work.

That's easy. Find out what the pay range is for your experience and job in your area using the internet, friends and networks

Next, you ask for something on the higher end of that range. Be willing to accept a little less with negotiations

Be willing to negotiate a bigger bonus if they won't pay you enough salary

Have a target in mind. If you can get offers from multiple places you can get them competitive. It's pretty simple

Don't be a cuck and just say yes to anything. But also, don't be a cunt with them. Treat it professionally and use logic & reasoning.

Be willing to walk away.

This.

Or ask a few recruiters local to your area for what they would expect someone with your experience could charge. Then add a premium as you said you're uniquely qualified.

you guys have misread the situation. he's being contracted for work by a non-profit who is clueless. they aren't going to have the money to pay him properly. OP is a college student. they want to hire a college student because they know they can't pay. what they don't know is hiring a college student at an hourly rate will probably end up being more expensive than if they just hired a professional, because its going to take at least 10x as long and be full of holes.

Not that anon but I am familiar with the study he's referencing. Basically it suggests that when you present an odd or specific price it appears as if you came to that price through very deliberate thinking, so people trust that the service is 'worth it'.

Take the average rate for your experience. Add in insurance costs if you are american or need some kind of licensing.

Figure out how many work days in a year. Subtract holidays. Subtract 4 weeks vacation. Subtract 2 weeks sick time. Subtract 2 weeks professional development. Multiply by 7 hours per day because you pay yourself for lunches. This is how many hours you can work.

Divide the salary by these hours.

Add 10% for equipment and licenses.
Add 10% to cover the 10% of time you spend looking for contracts.

If you itemize the cost breakdown and aren't pulling the number out of your ass, it will smooth negotiations. They may say they don't have the cash but they won't be completely retarded or insulting about it.

fucking CHECKED and wasted

[software company owner anon No.15222236]

Anon have you heard of the Salary Guide? Find them from recruitment firms website. It should tell you what you can expect as a permanent and sometimes as a contractor.

The rule of thumb is to get between 1.5 to 2 times your wage rate when you become an independent contractor. Consulting and contracting firm can charge 2 to 3 times but that is a different story.
