justacoward90··on Ask HN: What is your daily rate?
Based out of nowhere useful, USA. Often I don't say, because often they don't care, and it would be harmful anyway. Projects come in regularly, but I reject almost all of them. Good project picking is tricky. Know when to drop relationships (hint: it's not "never").

But what part of the curve are you looking at? You really think that top 0.01% of lawyers are making less than $900k/year? How good do you have to be at year 4 to hit that kind of target?

So you just run ansys/comsol? (Kidding. It's more involved, I'm sure.) How did you get into that selling that service?
justacoward90··on Ask HN: What is your daily rate?
$1600/day, 8 hours/day, 5 days/week, remote (NO TRAVEL), USA. I write software for startups that have raised in the $5-20M range with at least $1M/year revenue. My software is mostly written in C, C++, Java, Python, Ruby, JavaScript. I began programming more than 15 years ago, although I only "officially" entered the industry during 2010.

Don't set my salary as some sort of goal. Lawyers with 1/5th of my experience or talent go for 2-5x easily. Hell, I should go get a JD.
