- LeonM 8y agoI guess because good programmers are not good in business. If a bank or any big corp is in trouble with legacy software and they approach you to fix it, charge them 500/h or more. That is still cheaper than the time they need to find someone else.
- corobo 8y agoCharge them a weekly rate and 500/h is probably still undervaluing yourself [1] https://www.kalzumeus.com/2015/05/01/talking-about-money/#consulting-rates https://www.kalzumeus.com/2015/05/01/talking-about-money/#co...
- quickthrower2 8y agoThere is not a shortage of Cobol programmers.
- 3rdAccount 8y agoNo, but Cobol + bank experience is different. There's the whole business terminology and overview you need to have to actually understand and fix the code.
