TL;DR: Hired as an A/R and A/P person, but have been doing the work of a NetSuite Developer for ~1.5 years. I'm going to ask for a wage correction (raise). What should I be paid? I'm thinking $50/hour to $75/hour. We typically pay our 3rd party contractors $180-200/hour.

Hi, y'all. I'm relatively new to the NetSuite world, and I could use some guidance on what I should be paid as a NetSuite Developer. I'm located in MT, work remotely part-time (hourly wage), and work for a company in my city.

I have a degree in CS from UC Berkeley. I've done a handful of software engineering internships (most notably Amazon), and I was in a junior software engineer role for ~6 months. I took some time away from work due to health issues, and ~1.5 years ago I started at my current company part-time doing A/R and A/P work. I almost immediately started automating parts of my works and I've been doing primarily development work ever since, still part-time due to my health issues.

I am proficient in saved searches, workflows (approval, scheduled, etc.), client scripts, user event scripts, map-reduce scripts, SuiteQL, creating custom fields and records, creating custom forms, and creating html PDF templates. I've only done one Mass Update script and one Suitelet script. I've never used/created a Restlet script. I've never used SuiteTalk or SuiteAnalytics.

I've even had to fix some work that has been done my previous and current contractors.

Recently my company implemented the "NetSuite - Amazon" prebuilt app in Celigo, and I ran point on implementing that. I've also stood up one custom flow in Celigo.

Currently, I am running point on converting a cloud-hosted application into a docker container that can be run locally. This application was created by 3rd party consultants before my time at the company, and they are charging us an arm and a leg to host and maintain it. I very well may end up duplicating their work in SimaPro if my company cannot come to an agreement with the consulting firm.

I have a non-technical supervisor in the accounting department who acts more like a PM for me. I give him daily updates and he doesn't bother me unless there's an issue or urgent request. Nobody else in my company can do what I do. My company used to rely on Wipfli and other firms, but we are phasing them out as I pick up more of their work; saving the company a ton of money.

When I started at this company, I received a wage of $25/hour and I never bothered to ask for a raise b/c I thought this would be a temporary role. Since my health has not improved, it is looking like this will be a long-term role for me. Since I'm now facing the prospect of going on SSDI, it is time for me to ask for a title change and wage correction to be paid appropriately for my skills.

I'm thinking of asking for between $50/hour and $75/hour. Is this a reasonable ask? For comparison, we pay our current contractor ~$180/hour for non-dev work and $200-250/hour for dev work.

I would like these a lot better without the word drip
