Lol, never change beyond...

If a single person is spending $6700/month in expenses he/ she is definitely doing blow and or living one hell of a lifestyle.

They could also be owning a few properties as well and it adds up fast.

Wow, my mistake. Reading > Me.

I am late for this response, but whatever.
1) if you own "multiple" properties, and have cash flow problems due to a layoff, boo fucking hoo and firesale one of them. There's always a buyer for the right price, and it's your own fault if you have massive monthly expenses for your fleet of properties.

2) Is Suncor and Bankers Hall still the two top rates +15 noodle shops? I get hungry. I thought Bankers seemed like spaghetti in the soup last time, which is gross and weird.

Not as the first question on the interview, lol.

It's in pre-interview, for me. Last two roles I filled, I had over 600 applicants, each. After getting down to the final 10, I started asking "what are you looking to get per hour?" and some resisted which I smoothed over and got numbers. These were candidates who, on paper, I am confident were reasonably well matched and some were looking for >40% more than others.

I have this role already with a secured rate in contracts. I'm a glorified pimp and I can't make any money if I have to pay you $140/hr when I was planning on paying about $100/hr and selling you based on that. That's bad business.
The delta is too big for us to waste each other's time. I'm not winning shit if I ground you down to $100 because you're not going to be happy and I have no motivation to slave drive. Also bad business.

I'm happy if you're able to get 40% more money than I'm in the market for. It's just not a match that's going to make either of us happy, no matter how we swing it.

Ya but if you force someone to give those numbers up, you have an edge.

On the flip side, if you just offer them something, at least they have a job offer and can decide. Which could be bad for you because they could waste your time with the offer, etc. So... not sure what is the balance. A lot of people probably would be happy with a job offer vs. risk saying something too big and not getting one at all. But if they say something too low just to appease you, they get screwed anyways.

It's like on Kijiji, the person asking the seller what is their lowest price, lol. Like wtf is that... Just offer something and see if they accept.

Wow, who's getting $140/hr in this market?

He's talking about charging out at $140/hr. Or at some number close. Can't make money if he is charging you out at similar to what he is paying you.

But the answer is lots of people still.

Yes, I understand that. But it sounds high even as a charge out rate. (Although I'm Edmonton area, so the scale might be different based on location)

What's the $140/hr translate into for annual salary?

When people talk about "contractors" does that mean engineers?

[ExtraSlow]

There's a lot of different charge out rates for different roles, even now.
