Interesting. I had the opposite experience. I started with C++ , then JavaScript, but ended up doing lots of PHP work. There are just so many PHP opportunities, the demand is still very high, but too many low quality devs, companies are willing to pay a lot for a good PHP dev. My last project was $150/hr, the one before that was $90/hr - both remote.

Any advice on increasing rates? 90$ to 150$ is rather drastic.

It's all about finding the clients willing to pay.

If you're sure you can find more clients, you can just double the rate with the existing ones.

I hear about devs billing $300-500/hr, but that must be some golden enterprise moneys.
