> 250k for a simple project. Either you got a REALLY good deal or the project is complex and it will require you to hire people simple is a relative construct, I've experienced project you could consider simple getting good money either because: 1. the client want to pay for the project and offset the risk of it to you (read as you make a few extra night if things go not exactly as initially planned) 2. the company tried things but didn't succeed, hence looking for outside help 3. you know the people making the decision and those will definitely not go on upwork.com to get cheap labor for the same reason no one ever question going to Oracle or IBM. Those people have the wallet and simply want result with your track record
