one time i wanted to hire a lawyer. his rate was $1500 per hour and his partner’s $2000 per hour.
again, we are so far off as engineers and we are clueless regarding negotiation and deal making.
- anonzzzies 3y agoYou would go in fixed price in that case as no one is going to accept 2k/hr. But if you say it’s 16k (and will spend 8 hours, but they don’t know), it is fine.

- iExploder 3y agolawyer has a moat with license and degree, does not translate to software unless you work in very specific areas also software contracts are generally not for 1 or 2 hours in total. if you NEED and get someone to consult on your code for 1 or 2 hours the rate would be astronomical too.
- b20000 3y agolaw degree or CS degree no difference maybe we need a license that will end all leetcode BS you are wrong that lawyers only work a few hours on a case. they work hundreds of hours on reasonably sized cases if not thousands and the rate is the same
- iExploder 3y agoyou dont need CS degree to be employed as software engineer or consult, you need law degree / license or what have you in US or anywhere else to practice law never said lawyers work only 1 or 2 hours on a case, but still imho lawyers consulting for 1 hour is much more common than software developers consulting for 1 hour.
