How much per hour for vba

[Steve Lang]

FWIW,

I code in both .NET and VBA and I find it more difficult to accomplish a
polished look in anything VBA than .NET (or VB6). Not to mention the
additional problems of trying to work within the bloated apps themselves and
the sometimes baffling object models. Consequently, I would believe a VBA
programmer should make at least as much as a .NET programmer!

BTW, I charge $75 for either in my market.

I was recently asked how much per hour for vba projects and I wasn't sure.
I'm from the Northeast so if it were dot net programming I'd start at 75 on
up (which may be low) . I was thinking 40, is that way over?

Thanks

I was thinking that .net contracts were upwards of 100-150, I started at 75
because thats where I would start given my lack of serious .net experience.

If you don't mind me asking where is your area?

and which part of dot net does a majority of your work come from, c#,
ado.net ?
