Wow, $45/hr is just laughtable. I know many freelance web developers from ex-USSR countries who charge more and their effective tax rate is below 10%.

Or did you mean this is $45/hr post-tax rate?

Ditto. This whole thread makes me feel out of touch.

$45 is well beyond a median ex-USSR freelancer, although there have to be outliers.

$50/hr for Ukrainian/Russian dev on upwork is reasonable. Ofc they make less since upwork takes a cut.
