How do I get over the mental barrier of charging more than $100 per hour?
- I'm a junior developer and I mostly freelance for larger companies.
- I feel like $100/hour is the industry standard and if I charge 150-300 I need to do work that requires managerial work.
- 300+ comes from charging a percentage of revenue increase or creating such a narrative, which often requires additional business and strategic consulting.
- On the flip side, I enjoy coding and want to avoid additional managerial and business consulting as much as possible.
