£400 + VAT, UK.
PHP Developer and not even a top notch one, i'm solid, but no rockstar, i am however full stack and I have other generic business skills. I also have an excellent portfolio with some very large names on them as well as almost 10 years experience doing this.
You dont need to be an amazing developer to be successful, i'd actually say theres actually more value in getting complimentary skills rather than the last 10% developer skill which is what takes the longest to achieve anyway.
- nrzuk 12y agoNice, do you mind sharing which region you work in? I'm in the midlands and lucky to get £350 and have been pretty lucky to work with some huge brand names to make my portfolio shine, but clearly this isn't enough! Even with years of ZF experience I still seem to struggle to find good interesting contracts in the region.
- noelwelsh 12y agoI'm in Birmingham. There isn't much dev. work in the West Midlands in my experience. Most of our work comes from London and further afield. Rates depend on the nature of the work, but 2-4x what you quote is a reasonable range. (I work primarily with Scala. I don't do paid work 5 days a week as I have longer term projects to work on.)
- TamDenholm 12y agoYeah that is primarily London, i live in Edinburgh where theres next to no work but typically work in London. Although i've had the odd contract up here or remote for decent money. I'm flexible down to £350 a day if its an interesting project to me.
