I wouldn't do elance or rent-a-coder for a few reasons:
Firstly, you might not be creating stuff that you will want to put on your resume/portfolio (my experience from that world is clients who want hacks and weird specs).
You will also find that going rates are pretty low because you are competing with off-shore labour (this is not a rant against off-shore, just an observation that this is how common markets work)
- mattm 16y agoI have done freelance work through oDesk and the longer projects were quite valuable. Rates are low but not that low. According to oDesk's stats, the average rate for a web developer is about $16/hr.
- dotBen 16y ago$16/hr for a developer is super low. I guess you can't compare remote to local SF, but $100-$125/hr is a good rate for devs here.
- RACNicole 16y agoHi dotBen, this is Nicole Miller from vWorker.com (formerly known as Rentacoder.com). vWorker's employers actually select the lowest bidder only 19% of the time (see http://bit.ly/av0S4R http://bit.ly/av0S4R for details) so crgwbr will have a very good opportunity for earning a decent income with available Python jobs.
