Re: Django - Worldwide Developer Rates - Hourly Income - location and project duration specific

I don't know what the entry level contracting rate is in Australia but I
would guess AUD$4,000 per month pre-tax. Competent developers can
usually get $6k to $8k per month or more if they do short term contracting.

That is expensive and hurts startups unless sweat-equity is involved.
