Recently we are data-mining to find appropriate hourly rates for outsourcing services. We are launching a new outsourcing site and will attract customers towards it. My question to the readers if you can help(Specially indian counterparts), what is the ideal rate for Outsourcing in .NET world ?

Let’s say we have a developer having 2 years experience, what should be the rate ? What should be the rate for somene with 4 years, 6 years and 8 years of experience.

I have seen some freelance sites, where people work even at miserly 4$/hour! . I am leaning more towards $18/hour for our company. If you have similar requirements contact me at parag@iparag.com .To put things in perspective, we have expertise in ASP.NET 2.0, 3.5, C#, SQL Server 2005, Compact Framework development, Sharepoint development, Biztalk development, Flex development, Silverlight 2.0 Development etc. Our company name is DirectToIndia.

There is another breed of sites offering “dedicated” hire for a fixed monthly fee, where the client manages the resource basically the company just makes sure “dedicated” resources have regular attendance and are on time.

Any creative ideas are welcome. You can email me directly at parag@iparag.com
