300 minimum for contract work

I've got mouths to feed

And I got a real job that I will be doing for longer than a week, so the the money has to justify me spending my rare free time.

Is that a number you can actually charge? Because if so, there's some prices I'm gonna have to raise.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

You can charge it, but that doesn't mean anyone's gonna pay it. Highly depends on your specific market and skillset.

At the very least, it's definitely useful as a "fuck you" price.

That number is at the high end of what I usually see for consulting work. The high hourly rate has to cover all of the HR and accounting overhead, invoicing, marketing, business development, and the opportunity cost of short term engagement vs. long term engagements.
