SDET/Selenium/automation QA billing entha expect cheyachu

[Pandubabu]

One of my friends works for MNC here in US. 75k salary.he has 6 years experience . He is planning for a job change . Solid automation background. Full time set avatle. Only contracting,  hourly pays set authunnai anta..naaku hourly billing idea ledhu. What is the reasonable per hour dollar to expect. Folks around me told 52 dollar to hand is a good rate. Is it so ? One of my colleagues works hourly.  He gets same as me when I convert his hourly to annually minus benefits . But he pays more tax .so please let me know good rate and any other stuff to consider before getting into the job

I will give you genuine answer...please guide me to learn automation

its depends on the location...usually the range is $45/hrs to $75/hr...

big cities like SFO, New York,seattle : start from 70/hr

medium cities like Atlanta,Chicago : start from 55/hr

small cities like St. Louis,Kansas ...will ask for 50/hr

Far west and Far East US lo cost of living ekkuva...always determine your payrate according to your location...for example I am applying for a position in San Diego, rent ye 2000 to 2500 untundi...I will definitely ask 60/hr...,same way if it is for San Antonio(no state tax) will ask 45/hr

Automation testing ki market baney untundha regular times lo?

[sattipandu]

Clients pay anywhere between 90-120 per hr 

How much of that trickles down t your hand is God's grace

I hired here for 110 and 120 to my team

But both were superb candidates, such folks don't stay beyond 6 months as they get more pay elsewhere

Btw both were whity guys

Ori nee , I was an automation tester,  but developer right now.  I dont feel any shame if I am an automation engineer myself . In my team, automation engineer writes lot better code than some other developers. Again it's for my old company friend .Also , I am planning to initiate a thread about testing here in this DB some time later.
