I would pay $50 a 30-60 min call with an industry vet programmer/EM to look at my career and give next steps to grow my career. I have no idea if I'm doing well or not or how to become a great programmer cause I don't know what's "next", as it's not as linear as I wish it was.

- acconrad 9y ago15-20+ years in the industry (I'm almost 10 in myself)
- vernon99 9y agoUnfortunately a good eng/em makes much more than $50/h. More like 150-300 (pretax) and that’s just for a normal fulltime hour, they would def charge more for consultancy work due to the overheads. That leaves you with not-that-vet people. Edit: I assumed major tech companies and western world, the situation is obviously different in other regions.

- hasenj 9y agoThere was a service a while ago called "clarity" or something like that, which was supposed to facilitate this kind of activity. EDIT: It seems to still be in business at clarity.fm, though it seems to be more aimed for startups than individuals.
