My consultancy is built around creating teams of hourly devs. It works great in practice but there’s a lot of talking to clients in the beginning. A lot of companies are very attached to the idea of w2 salaries.
- notreallyserio 5y agoDo you find you have to do a lot of outbound "sales" to push the concept of hourly devs or are you more likely to see this attachment after a company is already exploring working with you? That is, so companies get cold feet after they learn more about the hourly dev concept you provide?
- foxbarrington 5y agoIt's not so much cold feet as it is confusing to them. e.g. "Wait, so they're hourly, not full-time?" "They bill hourly, but they will put in between 30 and 40 hours of work each week, which is about what you'd expect from most full-time employees"
