I once had a recruiter reached out to me and they were looking for a NetSuite admin who had functional knowledge about NetSuite processes as well as the technical expertise (SuiteScript/SuiteFlow) to work on customization. The guy was looking for 3 people in a pay of not even one 😄

Had a recruiter recently who told the payrate will be 7$/hr after the complete interview process. Had asked them for the same multiple times at the start could have saved both our efforts.

This seems like it's every admin position at smaller companies. We want you to do everything NetSuite. Dev work, admin work, contract work, new project work, feature dev and then we will only pay you for one.

$7/hr? The hell?
n
That's fine @Zack but then at least they should pay a reasonable salary.
s
that was $7 in like 1888

It seems like they just want cheap offshore labor and don't wanna pay "locally" to add value to their business. You can hire someone at $50/hr and then they charge you 20 hours where you could just pay someone like myself to do it in 5 hours at $150 and come out way ahead. What also gets me is they have a long list of requirements like 5+ years of X/Y, certs and degrees but don't wanna pay for it so I'm just saying "no thanks" and letting them create additional issues for themselves. Sometimes you just gotta walk away.
That is the capitalist way really. If you can't afford to run your business correctly its going to fail so have fun w/ that

The 8 jobs in 1 for less than 1 job's pay is definitely annoying though
They also have this thing where they try to pay you for location. Big pass on that. You can pay me for value added or good luck.
i turned down a google job because of that. I'd basically have teammates doing the same work making 5x what they would pay me
n
Because of the different location?
c
they want to pay based on your location
like if you live in California you may get 300k a year but only 100k here in Ohio for example

Same work different pay
so my response is you're paying me for the value of the work not where I live.
Here's a good example. $51/hr at USC
so after taxes you'd make more working at target
Sr. NetSuite Dev for $51/hr. Get out of here.

51 hr my family would be scraping and my 401k and HSA would have zilch in contributions
c
its also in southern california
you wouldn't be scraping at all you'd be homeless

Well definition will vary from person to person. And 50$ hr ain't bad for some of the countries. But definitely bad for onsite.
c
i'm specifically talking US here sorry
that's $51/hr at a 1099 rate. So after taxes its more like $30/hr in a super high cost of living area. You couldn't even afford rent at that by yourself.
s
I made way more than that per hour 10 years ago when I worked for NS partners in Austin and San Diego.
c
There's 21 applicants for the job too
n
The "applicants" number is not the actual # of applicants. It is just based on the "clicks" - I read it somewhere. This is very misleading.
c
really? I did not know that at all interesting
