yes, I did.
to add to this - I pay exactly what the freelancer asks, and not a single person I've worked with has ever asked me for an increase in rates, even when I would have gladly accepted. When I offer more money proactively, it's usually when they're dropping the project and I really want them to continue. Unfortunately money doesn't seem to be the issue in these cases - the two instances were "got a job" and "personal issue".
apart from that:
- hourly rates don't correlate with total cost, lower hourly rates = they'll bill you more hours
- higher hourly rates isn't necessarily better. The best, most reliable person I've worked with charged $60/hr. The worst was well over 100.
- mettamage 6y agoIf you're looking for another freelancer (2 days per week), then allow me to rectify the HN record. I'd specifically like to freelance for you as I have a hunch that you'll give feedback in a straight manner and that happens to be how I communicate (most Dutch people do). My email is in my profile.
- wmark 6y agoI am curious to know how in the world someone with $100/hr could not provide a professional service? Doesn't lower hourly rate means less experienced professional? I should probably increase my rate from $45/hr to at least $60/hr considering that I don't annoy my clients like you in Upwork. On the contrary, getting clients to actually pay over $100/hr is a holy grail. How many clients did these guys had in their history?
