Seriously though, while not from India or Pakistan, I still live in a low-cost country (Portugal) compared to most of the USA or UK. $50/hr affords me a good quality of life. The market may allow me to charge more, but at the moment, I can't even find many clients at this rate (thus, focusing right now on building a public portfolio, I have other projects I have worked on that are very well rated on the Appstore, but can't really use them as showcase due to NDAs I've signed).
- danso 14y agoAh yes, I was wondering if you were outside the States, but decided to be ethnocentric and assume you were in the U.S. because of your excellent English.
- BSousa 14y agoThanks! I lived in the UK for a few years and learned most of my english from cartoons ;)
- dwyer 14y ago> at the moment, I can't even find many clients at this rate All the reason to charge more. If you have lots downtime between clients then you should make enough during your uptime to compensate for that. There are other benefits to outsourcing besides cheap labor and clients should pay a premium for those luxuries.
