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

1 pointspindo2 comments

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.

> What's the difference between $100 an hour and $4,000 a week? Aren't they mathematically equivalent? No. Weekly billing strictly dominates hourly billing.

25 years professional experience. C/C++/Java/Python mostly in capital markets/trading. Mostly remote. USD1000/day.

If the project is FOSS, I'll take a steep cut on that.
