Even in Europe I got those amounts for those types of jobs; I don’t do them anymore as I don’t like them anymore (when I started out it was interesting and sometimes challenging work, now it’s just crud; I can dream up those things without effort), but if you have a bit of a network of enterprise management types, you can get more and more of those gigs. Usually departmental apps which every dep will have done ‘their own way’ (which means it’s all the same but built from scratch every time).

Are there really a lot of 250-350/hr jobs building crud apps for enterprises? Where is this market drawing from?
