    I believe the simple answer is: are you working for yourself or through a contracting firm. Typical rates for this type of service will run $100/hr and up, depending on experience and the types of work being performed. However, if you are looking to source your work through a contracting firm, you will likely receive 1/2 or less of the actual contracted rate. And, that's reasonable, because the contracting firm has to absorb all of the associated overhead costs of the contractors, sales force, administration, etc.

    My $0.02,

    My guess is that it would depend on what part of the country you're in (assuming
    you are in the US). Salary.com has a good wizard, but it lists general
    positions such as IT/Manager or IT/Networking.
