Excellent. I do bluetooth mobile apps for the refrigeration industry, and currently thinking about leaving my job for something in USD...

I always say the number 50 USD/hour, since I feel like recruiters/platforms expect for a LATAM based dev to charge a bit less..

You're underselling that hourly rate pretty hard. There's a comment above about the fully qualified labour rate. Its worth a read, and from experience you need to be placed higher with the rate than $50 USD.
