Quite interesting system you have made there.

Do you perhaps publish (or could publish) some statistics on earnings and the like?

Also, how often the jobs are available for non-USA candidates?

Thx. Happy to - generally for senior engineers and above our market rates tend to be $120 - 160+/hr. For mid-levels, I would say about $100 - 130/hr. Our rates are market driven in that Facet members can set their salary and contract rates where ever they would like. We do an 80/20 rev share on the hourly billable to the client (the rates above would be general market averages for North American based engineers - this is the average hourly take home). People in other geographies tend to set their rates at a lower limit/range. We are growing internationally both in that we have clients looking for non-USA engineers and working with non-USA based companies. Most of our client side demand is for US-based engineers, but more roles and companies are coming onto the platform all the time. Hope that helps!

Can you pay on W2's? That would save hassle at my end. Obviously the split would take payroll taxes into account.

Yes we have options for that too! (also do FTE placements quite often)

We provide guidance on how to set your market rate as well based on experience (some people looking to dip into contracting have no idea) whether or not you work on a contract for Facet. We have some documentation there that might be helpful.
