I find this hard to believe. If you were a developer making 100k before that would mean you&re developer making 500k now. Impossible? No. Improbable? Yes. Mayb

  I've had a similar experience to this guy. It depends on the number of days but I reckon 5x is average. It only takes a couple of days of the first week in a month to cross the threshold of 1x. Also there can be a secondary multiplier if you have 2 gigs at once. So 5x becomes 10x if you have two. I don't think most people who do this are interested in going at it this way 252 days a year though but yeah if one's keen to 500k is possible.

    How high can you go? Senior devs at google can pull 300k+ with stock at the L5 level, does contracting scale in the same way or is 500k atypical?

      Well it depends, people turn it into whole businesses and get additional staff to arbitrage the hourly rates. I've seen a couple get 4m+
