In which dreamland you get paid USD$155 per hour for Node.js work?

I regularly charge clients around $110. so $155 will get you just a bit over an hour of work from someone who knows what they're doing.

If you're not a freelancer, but rather a salaried person... take some times to calculate how much your employer is paying for your benefits, and all the costs associated with employing you. It's typically around 2x your "hourly" wage.

Nice. Where do you find clients? I live in Canada and work remote. Have a ton of experience (web dev since ‘98), but don’t have these kind of contracts. :/

In the UK I earned around $750 USD/day for node work as a contractor. A day was around 6 hours when you take the lunch break away so it's not far off.

I've worked (employee + freelancer) for multiple "agencies" in the USA. $150 is a more-or-less standard rate.

Contractors in the us will bill that much for developers.
