I should put a disclaimer on that...under $175k I was a software engineer, at $175k director of engineering, $250k I had to become a freelance consultant, which is variable but averages $250k+ for me.

This is all in Los Angeles, CA

Any chances you could update the previous post to reflect which are salaried, and which are contracting? The two aren't really fair comparisons.

For context, in the UK, an engineer making £60-70k salary can expect about £500/day contracting (£120k annualised at 48 weeks working).

And the contract gigs tend to be 6-12 month contracts anyway.

Any chance you'd be willing to share some pointers on how you've done so well as a freelance consultant?
