I'm pretty sure if you just ask anyone who has ever contributed a driver to the Linux kernel you can find someone who is willing to do "revesing work or special-case driver stuff" for WAY less than $2000/day.
- tptacek 13y agoThe person who does driver reversing for less than $2k a day is egregiously shortchanging themselves.
- upit 13y agoWell, then setup a consultancy that charges that amount, and hire most of the people in the GPU driver reversing projects like Nouveau, Freedreno, Lima, etc. and pocket the difference (GPUs are the most complex hardware out there, so you should be covered skill-wise). I guess most of those guys would be content with a 100-200k$ wage (or possibly much less), so you can pocket the other 200k$+. I'm not sure who is even paying anything at all for reversing drivers/hardware (esp. on a temporary basis), but if you know...
- daeken 13y agoVery possibly. And either they're going to take 10x the time (and cost you far more at the end of the day) or they're way underpricing themselves.
