I'm based in Austin, am an individual contributor, and I bill out at $300 / hour (and have been for more than a year). I work anywhere from 20-25 hours per week. I'm quoting new inbound at $350-400 / hour and work has no signs of slowing down.
I live in Austin too but here no one agrees to pay me more that $40/hour and thats why i am considering moving to Bay Area. What kind/field of work do you do sir?
I do iOS, Android, and full stack web development (devops, frontend, backend, etc.)—basically whatever tech is needed to solve the business issue at hand. Hit me up if you want to talk shop, I’d love to help you out if I can!
