thanks for the feedback. I only work with two freelancers, so there are no paychecks to consider beside of my own.. these freelancers are on payroll as long as money flows. Additionally i must say that i live in central europe, so salaries are not as they are in the valley.. a good dev costs 65k, a "manager" (replace with whatever exec role you think of) is 80-100k.

The person i need to hire would have to bring me new projects, larger and more independent than the ones i have... I dont know if such a job-description exists ??

The company, including myself, (as right now) can survive 2 years without any income.
