y, sounds like you are underpaid but depends on your skill set and what you're working on. I'm in the midwest and that's probably avg. web developer position around here but would expect NYC jobs to pay 2x that due to the cost of living. Freelance/Consultant is lots of work keeping the pipeline full finding good clients. If you haven't already I would work on leveling up your skills learning full stack web application development (Rails or Laravel) the rate/fees are better ($50 to $100+/hr) if you enjoy that kind of work the projects are more interesting too. Keep leveling up.
