Also, could I ask for advice to increase my hourly rate? Mine is closer to $25. Granted I am in Europe, so the ceiling here will be quite different, but I'd love to hear how you did that! I hear (even for those based in US) that location plays a huge part, but even so, I assume specialization also played a big part?

Yes, specialisation over decades. Perhaps almost as important: I started in the US, and still work almost exclusively for US clients. In a world where I can work almost as easily 12 time zones away as 2, I'm not sure why these huge continental disparities still exist, but they do.
