52k a year with no time off / benefits?
- recursive 5y ago44k with 8 weeks off sounds better.
- didibus 5y agoGlassdoor says a web dev freelancer today in the US averages 30$ per hour and it can range from 60k to 80k a year. So I don't, know, maybe their data is wrong, but it seems to be an even better gig today.
- marc_io 5y agoI don't think it is wrong at all. It may be a niche – specially in the US –, but with 46.3% of the world population still without internet access, the long tail is indeed long.
- nostrademons 5y agoThat wasn't bad in the early 2000s. Median U.S. household income was $42K in 2000, and you didn't have these $half-mil/year FAANG/unicorn jobs back then.
