- dboreham 6y ago> even just outside of silicon valley No, you're going to pay $70/hr for car repair and roofing work in the middle of the US.
- ido 6y agoIt's ok for a normal job (guaranteed 40h/week) but for hour-based freelancing (let along minute based!) it's really not. $45 is €37 and you can absolutely get more than that as a freelance developer here in Germany. People who are used to getting a salary severely over estimate how much money an hourly rate translate to per year when you don't have guaranteed work lined up. As a rule of thumb $x per hour is equivalent to roughly $xK per year for a salaried position when you account for unpaid time between gigs, paying your own insurances, paying for your own equipment, not getting paid vacation and sick leave, etc.
