1500 a day. Depends on the exchange rate at the time and how many days you wanna work, but it was over $500k at the time. Obviously you can earn similar or more as a high level in FANNG and the initital grant in the US is a lot better. 800-1000 is a lot more typical.

Your salary is pretty hot though. I traded in contracting to be a CTO on a lot less than you are, but I got some lottery ticket stocks and will probably see us through an IPO, so feels like that's worth something.

Yeah I’ve seen and even been offered £1500+ contracts but those were relatively short term no where close to being enough to fill out 200+ billable days per year.

You could get probably get to £150K or so over a year focusing on those contracts only 100 days billable is doable but usually you won’t find more than 5-6 months of those contracts per year.

Hopefully the IPO will work out well for you :)
