If anyone is reading this and considers $150 per hour "low", do reach out to the email in my profile. Here in the Netherlands the going rate for a AI engineer is more around $90, so I'd be happy to pick up the work.

I have almost never seen such a thing. The $500/hr freelancer are probably the same category as the $500k programmers. They exist but are quite rare.

  Most senior devs at FNG reach 500k and beyond (US and London).

    For U.S. I understand, but do you have any official info that seniors make 500K of total comp in London?

    Definitely not in London

      Yes, in London. Facebook is actively poaching devs from the finance sector.

I know right? 40$/h FTE here. Not an AI engineer though.

If you look at the person's bio on their website, they have a phd and have written multiple books on the topic, plus have been an invited speaker and regular at conferences in the area. They went to work at a company doing the same specialization, then went out on their own. This is about how to cash in on being a well-known contributor in a very hot niche area. Given all that, I feel like they are still just selling their skills for short term cash while others make the real money off what they produce. As always with contracting.
