It's a little more complicated than that for me - I stopped coding a long, long time ago and most of my work now is strategic and business focused. Some of those tasks are highly specialized and I can invoice $200/hr. Some are commodity tasks that the market is used to paying much lower rates for and I have to bill $100/hr (and then prove value by taking fewer hours to do it than a cheaper resource would). Other things are well-defined and I can charge a set price for and net greater than what any hourly rate I would have been able to negotiate would be.
- pc86 9y agoI agree that the math is more complicated but that doesn't mean you're being poorly compensated or anything. I'll charge as low as $80/hr for stuff like documentation prep. I also won't do documentation prep in 99% of instances because I'd rather charge $145/hr to write code.
- apercu 9y agoThat's where I do a kind of a blended rate. If you need this deliverable and that deliverable I might just average it out. But, yea, where I can get the $150/hr+ work I take it over anything else.
