Unrelated but 250$ an hour sounds to me to be really high (though I'm not from SV so maybe there it isn't?) , anyone know what kind of clients he has or what type of consulting does he do? (it's obviously programming from the blog, but what kind of programming freelance work gets 250$/h)
Or rather, how do you get to be able to charge so much (and obviously being valued so much by so many companies)
- jondubois 10y agoIt's about knowing the right people and maintaining a reputation. Also, I suppose that since he maintains Hapi, he would understand it really well and would be extremely efficient when using it for his clients.
- abritinthebay 10y agoConsultants usually charge $200-$300 an hour for domain expert level experience. It can be more, but that's a reasonable range. This isn't SV specific, I've had quotes in that range from DC, NYC, and the UK. Long story short: you have to be an expert and be able to get known as an expert in your field enough to be able to justify charging that much. It's easier when you're part of a consulting firm - who obviously takes their cut out of that rate first.
