I recently came across a problem. I was really in need of consulting with a qualified PHP/MySQL developer close to home to discuss a problem that I needed to solve. I only know of one in the area and it got me thinking about where these mid-career professionals might be. Did these qualified developers leave the area?
So I started thinking about salaries. The bulk of my work comes from Seattle, so for me personally this is not a concern, but what about the people here who work for a Spokane-based employer? I went to payscale.com to get some salary comparisons, not just between Seattle and Spokane, but also from cities closer in population to Spokane.
When I did a search on software developer salaries between Spokane, Boise and Seattle, I found that salaries are significantly lower for software developers in Spokane. This could be why there’s few qualified software developers in the area.
The big question is, WHY?

If you’re wondering why I’ve been so quiet lately, it’s because I’ve been working on one of the biggest sites I’ve ever helped launch: www.pchquiz4cash.com. The site is written using PHP/MySQL and offers quizzes which users can answer questions and win cash if they ace the quiz. The site was launched at Christmas and if you visit the site you can see how many people have taken quizzes. As of this post, it’s nearing 300,000!
That’s the good news. The even better news is that I launched this site not as a small employee of some large corporation, but as part of a business partnership. If all goes well, I will be able to say that I am successful in business and don’t have to depend on working for someone else for my livelihood.

In my last post, I mentioned the large number of contacts I’ve gotten from job recruters this summer… well, this is a good thing because I was laid off from my job on Monday. So, I’m looking for contract or full-time positions as a PHP/MySQL developer in Seattle. Some technologies I have to offer include XML, CSS, HTML, PHP, MySQL, MVC frameworks (using Object-Oriented PHP). My resume can be found here.

I recently packaged a Smarty template extension for Dreamweaver which allows web designers who are working with Smarty templates to work on templates using Dreamweaver’s Design View. You can download the extension here. To install the extension, simply use the Macromedia Extension Manager. I offer no support or warranties for this extension, but welcome feedback about it.
