Depends. Freelance, or consultant? I've done both, and am in Brisbane. I charged $400/day as my normal rate for the latter. The former was project dependant. And could be from $10/h if I messed up quoting to $1000/h if I quoted well and everything went well. Working as a full time "full stack" engineer I'm earning $50/hr with 8 years of experience under my belt. Which I prefer, as I earn good money for my age and location, without the stress of finding work.
