Daniel, unfortunately php isnt fetching the fat salaries java and .net are. especially for strictly development. administration is another story and that seems to be a typical supplement to a well paid php programmer. by my estimation avg. salary for php developer (strictly) in the us is around $50k. $80k is high, above that is exceptional. for administrative work as well i think youre looking at some negotiating to settle on the final amount. -nathan On 7/31/07, Daniel Brown <parasane@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Good morning, afternoon, evening, or whatever the case may be, folks. > > I'm just looking for responses from some of you on salary averages > for those who work with LAMP on a full-time basis.
