Hey, I have been getting a LOT of intrest at the office to do some IT consulting outside of work. Any of you guys do this? What is the going rate, hourly I guess?

 

For consulting as far as running cat 5 and crap. Really depends on how many years you've been doing it. I would say a range of 10-20 an hr is a safe bet, agian depending on your experence.

Well im going for an interview in san francisco next week. I hope good things come out of this. If it does. This will be my cash cow to support me until i can get my corporation running.

 

What? I make $35/hr at work. Why would I charge less for outside stuff? If anything I would think I would charge more...

 

This reminds me of the demotivational calendar that was over at Paul's shop.
Consulting: If you're not a part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem.

 

I do work some but my rate is about $65/ an hour. If you need any more info just pm me.

 

lol straight ballers out here. I don't have enough salesman effort to do it on my own.

 

You're making $35/hr? Fulltime or contracting?

 

Most companies bill at 80/h labor so 65 is pretty cheap imo

emergency calls are about 80-90 with min of two hours.

 

A few months ago I did a search online for in-home computer service rates, and IIRC I didn't find anything for under $75/hr.

 

I usually charge 50-60/hr

 

Damn, that's a lot of money to have someone tell you to reboot.

 

When I worked at CompUSA we charged $100 flat rate to fix problems. They usually took 15-20 minutes. $40 to add memory to your system, $70 to add disk/cd-rom, etc.

 

I don't do paid repair.. I feel bad charging someone $100 for me to fix something in a few minuets.. prolly why I stopped working at computers stores

 

thats why you sit there & make it look like you're doing important stuff for an hour

 

still makes me feel bad for charging them $100 for something that takes me a few minuets to fix.. no matter how long I pad the time
