Wow, I don't normally disparage comments, but if OP you read the above, I really hope you ignore this advice. There is no evidence in the above comment supporting any of it. Take a look at rates charged on independent contracting websites (e.g., Freelance, ELance, etc.) and you will see that consultants raise prices over time as they develop establish relationships and solid references.
Anecdotally, I spent 2 years 'flipping burgers', and then started out charging $20/hr doing consulting work. I was happy and my clients were happy. Over time, I slowly raised rates and haven't looked back since.
- anigbrowl 16y agoI thought the phrase 'If you keep working like this' in the context of a discussion about sustainability made things sufficiently clear. I guess not.
- nowarninglabel 16y agoSorry, it was a lot of text and I did not see that part. Yes, that puts it in perspective, though I guess my comment was mainly to indicate that I don't believe anyone would stick with that as the status quo moving forward, that this would just be the beginning.
