A Silicon Valley developer on $200,000 costs $100/hour in salary alone.
When your employer onboards new hires, do they have a commit merged into main in their first 90 minutes with the company?
Software development is an expensive business, and some companies are used to paying this much and more. The no-fix-no-fee pricing model would also command a premium over hourly work.
- rsstack 3y agoBut they're not offering Silicon Valley developers, the comparison is moot.
- michaelt 3y agoNo, but to clients accustomed to paying Silicon Valley prices $150 isn't too bad, if the tickets get closed. If you look on sites like Upwork, even developers from poor countries often cost $30+ per hour.
