They're all based in Poland, so it's probably fairly generous compared to European market.

Some (lots of) people will trade a lot of money for general life freedom. If it's well-booked, a service like this can come to around 105k/year for each dev.

A salary like this is only a big compromise if you live in a very high cost of life area.

This seems like a easy way to get into consulting. Once you deliver the code back to the owners they are going to do the vibe coding again on the top whatever refactored code you get back. In other words it can become a perpetual cycle.

Being honest, knocking one refactor after another is super intense and we would burn out quickly. To me refactoring/reading/reviewing a code that you have never seen is one of the hardest thing to do for a software developer. If I have 4 such projects a month, I'd just hire more people and allow them to rest. Also invest more into internal tooling to speed things up would be good solution to remove some burden. I think $10,000 for refactor is a fair price.

We also have other gigs and ongoing project, where we can rest a bit.

Probably will do a patio11 and keep raising as they get more confident to do so.
