OK, but now imagine if a Bay Area client tells you to lower your rate by 20% since you're based in Oklahoma and it should be more than enough for you...

- davismwfl 6y agoI see your point and respect your position but disagree with the logic. In one example you are an employee, in the other you should be running a business and the two are not equivalent in pay, process or responsibility, so trying to treat them as they are is improper. IMO freelancer is just a label for an employee with no benefits, no protections and full tax liability. Consultants (or dev shops etc) generally build real businesses and are treated considerably different.
- zerr 6y agoThose (including 400K employment) are just different names for what is essentially a business deal between two parties - as long as you provide the value satisfying the second party, and as long as the second party pays the agreed amount - it shouldn't matter whether any of you live in Thailand or rent a duplex on Manhattan.
