So I don't have official numbers but in Filipino tradition, I'll take 1 direct source and 1 second hand source to give you a range of what the bigger companies are paying.
As of March 2010, I'm hearing that newly minted computer science graduates are getting between 15,000P - 30,000 P per month in salary. Add to this benefits like medical insurance, life insurance, and vacation (probably 20%-30% cost of salary is a good approximation if it's anything like here). This translates to $300 - $700 USD per month OR $3600 - $8400 per year. Round it out and you can roll out resources for under $10,000 per year.
There is a true growth opportunity to work with newly minted grads interested in doing side projects for both accelerated experience and mentorship. If you were to find newly minted comp sci grads willing to do side jobs, a generous offer if we do the math would be:
30,000P per month * 12 months / 2000 hours per year = 180 P per hour => 180 P / 45P to $1 rate = $4/hour.
It's reasonable that a new grad with not as much responsibility at work could afford 10-20 hours to do side projects for you at $40 for 10 hours or $80 for 20 hours. I suggest you package up your requests as small defined projects.
* since they get benefits from their company, no need to include that cost in the equation.
