I charge about that much. I've had to turn away a lot of smaller projects because I'm way overburdened at the moment.
It's amazing how coders don't actually know C anymore. It seems like a rare skill these days. I also have a ton of embedded development experience (Sony PSP, PS3, XBox 360) that transfers well.
I teach an iPhone Game Design course at the local polytechnic institute that has been good for marketing. And I bounce between 1st and 2nd when you Google "vancouver iphone developer".
I bet I could draw in more work if I advertised on CraigsList and LinkedIn.
- flashgordon 18y agowow that is impressive... where do you live?? waht kinds of projects do you normally get?
- flashgordon 18y agoactually the "where do you live" question was more about the iphone-app demand inquiry rather than for stalking purposes :D
- ars 18y agoYou got downmodded (I think) because he said where he lives: vancouver.
- flashgordon 18y agowell he actually implicitly said "vancouver iphone developer" which I misread... and secondly my "where do you live" question was BEFORE he had explicitly mentioned it.. but either way ..
- markessien 18y agoWhere do the bulk of your clients come from? From google?
- pkaler 18y agoMost of my clients come from shaking the right hands. I get referrals from people I know and people I meet at events. Hackers underestimate the importance of dressing fashionably, speaking eloquently, and writing well. All of these soft skills ease the pain, stress, and pressure from the client's perspective. This is what the client is paying for: to feel better. I live in Vancouver. I usually do projects for Fortune 500 type companies. I'll work on projects for friends that I personally know too.
