Sounds like he has a steady client that accommodates as many hours as he likes at that rate, and has done so for a dozen years. I imagine he has covered his business development expense by now. This is how I do it too, by the way. Long term relationships with good companies. It's more like contracting, but without the 40h expectations of a contractor. ( Unless I feel like working 40 hours in a given week for some reason).

> Sounds like he has a steady client that accommodates as many hours as he likes at that rate, and has done so for a dozen years. It sounds like he’s basically been employed by this one company for 11 years, albeit on a contract basis. These positions exist, but they’re not all that common. Usually if a company is paying a single person a premium for many years they’ll just hire a full-time person and be done. The average freelance contract you find should not be assumed to be a decade-long opportunity.
