As of Dec 1 I am no longer accepting development assignments. I will continue my work with _________ as a &#8220;grandfather&#8221; client, but moving forward code is no longer my primary work product. A little more information can be found on my personal blog ( <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/64SuzC\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/64SuzC<\/a> ) .<\/p>\n<p>I remain in the consulting market, but I am moving my focus to the following areas.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Social network integration \/ marketing<\/li>\n<li>Project Management<\/li>\n<li>Software Architecture<\/li>\n<li>Technology evaluation (choosing the right tools)<\/li>\n<li>User Experience design \/ evaluation<\/li>\n<li>Multimedia<\/li>\n<li>Search Engine Optimization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My baseline rate remains at $___ an hour, though I understand I will need to be flexible on this as I establish a reputation in these areas. I also understand that more client face time is required for these types of jobs. I am still not available for full time on site, but frequent trips to NYC and DC for meetings is acceptable and I am open to travel both within and without the continental US.<\/p>\n<p>I will be shooting out an updated resume, and am building a new site as a touch point for my efforts in this area. Currently I am transitioning my current independent clients to this arrangement as I build their development teams. Robert Half \/ Creative Group is the only agency I will be considering work from at this time outside of my own clients.<\/p>\n<p>That all said, money is money and I will entertain work in the software development area I have the best reputation in &#8211; high stress, short delivery salvation of projects that are in trouble. For this work, My rate in 2010 will be at a baseline at $___ an hour, higher with significant on-site. I understand that this prices me out of that market for 99.999% of the work &#8211; but that&#8217;s OK \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Thank you both for all your assistance in 2009 and I hope we all have a great holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>Ken ________<\/p>\n<p>cell: 406-SHUNTRE<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh look, that bridge is kind of smoldering!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the (redacted) text of an email I sent to the folks I take consulting work for at Robert Half Technologies.
