- cjbprime 8y agoSounds about right to me too, and the particulars certainly matter -- like, are you assigned to the company paying for your hours full-time and without a specific end date? If not, then of course part of that hourly rate is compensating for downtime or uncertainty in the billed hours.
- maxxxxx 8y agoUsually it's much lower. I know people who are billed at $300/hr making close to 200k or less.
- DATACOMMANDER 8y agoI don’t have experience being billed out at astronomical rates, but I speculate that the consultants’s take-home is sublinear in the rate he’s billed at, and dramatically so. I’m very impressed by someone who makes $100/h or more writing code, but I think I’m even more impressed by a person/team/system that can consistently find quality clients willing to shell out $500/h or more. I have a feeling that someone could be well worth such a rate but struggle to get anywhere near it on their own. How do you even go about finding those clients? I can’t help but think that they’re almost all going to be companies going through an unexpected existential crisis...
