Actually in the world I work in, there are disticnt levels: -
Specific Project manager, who if dealing with an application development, knows whether to use Java or VB or lately Javascript, and has heard of C language in his student days. He cannot program in these languages himself.
Specific Project manager, who if dealing with a middleware development or language development, knows he will need good C plus plus and/or C expertise in the contractor or programmers he hires; He cannot program in these languages himself.
That basically is the hierarchy and I fit in nicely in the picture as a project manager, and those in superior and lower positions to me know that I do not know programming in C, nor do they expect me to know.
Not plausible. Although most Software Project Manager jobs do not require fluency in C and some do not even require a computer-related degree, several years of experience in programming is typically required. E.g. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?hl=en&q=cache:KJxNxfHSArsJ:http://www.assess.com/docs/Software_PM.pdf%2Bsoftware+project+manager+requirements&ct=clnk or http://jobview.monster.com/project-manager-software-launch-life-sciences-6-month-contract-job-burbank-ca-us-126486284.aspx
If I was foolish or ignorant, cpmpanies would not pay me $20,000 just to supervise computer language related projects or hire me for $200/hour for a minimum contract of 6 hours/day for 3 days. Yes that is what I charge.
Actually, considering going IT contractor rates, that sounds plausible, though a little bit on the low side. http://www.indeed.com/salary/Software-Project-Manager.html or http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/316346-current-rate-for-it-contract-work or http://www.contractoruk.com/market_rates/
Out of curiosity, which companies have you worked for?
