Ask HN: Poll for long-term contractors, what is your hourly rate?

Posted by zerr on Saturday May 25, 2013 @06:49PM
from the ask-hn dept.

---------

EDIT:

for Software Engineers, [UX] Designers or any other profession with a "similar" responsibility.

So it is NOT for lawyers, doctors, financial consultants, CEO's, etc...

---------

I'd appreciate if anyone with enough karma could create a poll:

---------

For those who work for their clients/employers relatively long term (e.g. > 6 months).

What is your hourly rate, or your monthly salary converted into hourly rate (divided by ~165 hours) in USD?

---------

< 15

15-30

31-40

41-50

51-60

61-70

71-80

81-90

91-100

101-120

121-150

151-200

>200

I am Swiss-based and for senior software developer roles my freelance daily rate is equivalent to USD1000 (one thousand) per day. The contract duration has no relation to my rate.

Although, I agree with zacharyvoase that I do not see the point of your question.

Yes. I was basically interested for software engineers only, but made it bit general for the benefit of e.g. designers.

And this post could just serve as an idea for a more elaborated Poll. I mean, all the previous hourly rate Polls were tailored for short-term freelancers.

Is it productive to ask this sort of thing without differentiating by job description on a basic level?

Thanks. Just updated - it is intended for any level of Software Engineers (or programmers/developers/coders, whatever you call yourself), designers or "similar".
