...This question seams strange to me - I did some contracting work for a while (not AMAZING rates but around the $110-$150/hr range ...working 12-14hr days) ...this translates to a nice $$$ pay day - but unless your really tied to material things - it doesn't really fulfill anything - ...I'm back to working a 9-5 ...and MUCH happier, if i was a single - douchebag type dev then... ya BIG $$$ money is important to them - they love to pose next to thier tesla or porsche ...
