Ask HN: What is your sw dev hourly contract rate?

1 pointsby spindoover 6 years ago
I’m seeking data points as I determine what my rate should be. Please indicate rate(s), years of experience, type of dev/skills, what rate(s) for what contract length(s), location, non-remote or remote, etc.

In case patio11 is not reading this, I&#x27;ll post a link to one of his old post: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;training.kalzumeus.com&#x2F;newsletters&#x2F;archive&#x2F;consulting_1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;training.kalzumeus.com&#x2F;newsletters&#x2F;archive&#x2F;consultin...</a><p>&gt; <i>What&#x27;s the difference between $100 an hour and $4,000 a week? Aren&#x27;t they mathematically equivalent? No. Weekly billing strictly dominates hourly billing.</i>

25 years professional experience. C&#x2F;C++&#x2F;Java&#x2F;Python mostly in capital markets&#x2F;trading. Mostly remote. USD1000&#x2F;day.<p>If the project is FOSS, I&#x27;ll take a steep cut on that.
