I spent 2 years working remote and making $125/hour as a front-end developer not too long ago. My schedule fluctuated widely, but I almost always worked between 20 and 60 hours per week.
I was the only remote employee, the only contractor, and the only web developer. The rest of the team consisted of designers, marketers, and iOS engineers working full-time from the office.
I've since quit that job, but I saved up enough money to take time off and work on my own projects (e.g. www.IndieHackers.com).
- enraged_camel 10y ago$250k salary for a remote position is pretty amazing. I thought such salaries were pretty much exclusive to senior developers in SV.
- csallen 10y agoI was a contractor, so that probably contributed to the higher rate, as contractors are responsible for their own insurance etc and get taxed at a slightly higher rate. Also, it helped that I was recruited by said company, rather than reaching out myself. Gave me more confidence negotiating my rate, especially since I wasn't really even looking for a job at the time.
