I kinda assumed that you were the one looking to hire someone! Not the other way around.

Since you're looking to get hired, it's purely *your* call. You ought to come up with an appropriate number for yourself. If you're a kicka$$ DBA, anything short of $100 / hr (for a short term gig) would be a crime. On the other hand, if you're just learning the ropes - $35 would be more appropriate. It depends on what you can sell yourself for..

PS : I just read someplace that DKB charges $500 / hour! There you go..
