I tailor my price quite a bit based on what I want. At my best, I feel I'm worth about $200/hour. But I like to work with very early stage companies, and they rarely can afford that. Plus, I've entered into a stage of my life where I just find it hard to really push myself. I like having a relaxing job that I don't need to think too hard about, i.e. I don't really feel like being worth $200/hour. So these days I've been varying between $50-75/hour.
- lupire 4y agoDon't think about how hard you work. Think about how much longer the young inexperienced person would have to work hard to match your results. Think about how much time you dnt spend on mistakes on the way to completion, and bake that multiplier into your rate.

- danielvaughn 4y agoVery true, that's a great way to think about it.
- pc86 4y agoHonestly I get this. I was charging $175-200/hr for years, 2-5 hours/week on top of my full-time dev job. Now I've taken easier gigs for $90/hr, and do ~10 hours/week on top of my EM job and it feels 10x better.
