I would pay $100/hr for a competent freelance system administrator who could parachute in and deal with the various things we need dealt with.
Of course the problem here is "competent". On two different occasions people have offered to do the job and they were terrible.
- Bedon292 9y agoWhat kind of things do you need dealt with? Any examples?
- synicalx 9y agoI wish there was more demand for stuff like this at a reasonable price. I've worked from various freelance sites in my spare time asking a similar price, but invariably I'd only see 10% of the business that the $15/hr crowd would see. I got a few ex-$15/hr customers, who wanted a few hours of my time purely to clean up the mess left by the last guy, and once it was cleaned up they'd take their business to the next $15/hr guy and hope he was a little better than the last one. Bit of a tricky situation I suppose, on one hand the competent Sadmins are probably more inclined to stick to a normal job with a steady income, but the incompetent ones seem to be happy to sit around all day spamming freelancing sites.
