Pay for Flex?

August 24, 2009 7:58 PM

What, anecdotally speaking, are Flex developers getting paid right now in Los Angeles or a similar city?

I have been to the salary calculators and such, they tend to come back with a number up around $120k or so- but I'm not sure how "real world" that is. I'm a Flex developer with about 2 years experience in Flex, and 10 years programming overall. I consider myself an expert in Flex/AS3 (have written my own framework, used all the major ones, can explain their strengths and weaknesses, and stuff like that).

I'm interested in knowing, if I put myself on the market tomorrow, what salary could I expect to find in Los Angeles for full-time? How about as a consultant? How high is the demand, really? Mostly just looking for anecdotes, but hard data is welcome if it's more specific than those generic salary calculators.

Thanks!

with a financial firm, you could make $120. at a creative agency, $60-$90 maybe. a friend of mine just landed a job at $100 in NYC and he's a middle-of-the-road dev. very good negotiator, though.
