Message-ID: <200601181812.k0IICUSZ000961@turing-police.cc.vt.edu> Date: Wed Jan 18 18:13:10 2006 From: Valdis.Kletnieks at vt.edu (Valdis.Kletnieks@...edu) Subject: Vulnerability/Penetration Testing Tools On Wed, 18 Jan 2006 11:36:04 CST, "Madison, Marc" said: > Developer $60K/year divided by the adopted 2080 man hours year (this is > the average hours work, 40 hour week, 5 days, etc...) = $28.85/hourly, That's the *unencumbered* cost. Now add in the employer cost of health insurance (probably close to $400 or more a month), FICA Medicare, Social Security, workman's comp, pension plan - right there that's another 25% in addition to that $28.85. Now he's costing you $35/hour. And we're not done yet.... Then add in the cost of his office - if he has a 10x10 cubicle, and commercial space rents for $10/square foot/mo, that's another $12,000/year. Now add in electricity, the cost of administrative assistants and HR people to support it (unless it's a *small* shop and doesn't have assistants and HR), and so on. Oh, and if you buy him a new $3,000 workstation every third year, that's another $1K/year. This shit adds up. That's why the rule of thumb is the real cost of a technical hire is twice the salary... > Like you said, "many people make that comparison, and don't calculate > the *TOTAL* cost". That's what I said..;) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
