Thinking of stepping back to design work. I use to do a lot of web app BA work including the BA work including the Wireframing and UX, usually Id have to do the SA's job as they usually didnt know the methods or classes I needed, then Id have to manage the projects and resources, including the testing etc and often they didnt have a dedicated database analyst so Id have to map all that out and clease data etc.
That was in Aus, which pays between $70-110 per hour plus super.
I imagine its a shed load less in NZ?
But I do enjoy working with people to make systems that work around them rather than doing general business analysis and designing stupid processes to get the people to work around the system. I have a strong disliking toward poor UX (TM cough cough).
