/prog/ - Such is the life of a freelancer

Just got my first check in 6 weeks. $1644. Enough for three months of rent, but still, I feel like I'm being exploited. I could be doing the same work for $100/hr. if I had the confidence to demand it. </3

You also need to eat, you know. So it's down to two months and a half of living.

Yes, but I can only hope I make more in the next two months. Who knows?

If you were good at math you could always tutor for your local university. Who am I kidding, you wouldn't be "freelancing" then.

Knowing math, does not mean you can be good at teaching.
If this guy/gal/gil is a freelancer, it summarize its doctorate caliber and enthusiasm.

$1644. Enough for three months of rent
living in a countryside is cool presuming connection is good enough.
$100/hr
that's $200K annually. i doubt that any of /prog/rammers will ever have such high-paid job.

There aren't many programmers (even in the US) that make that sort of gross income. There are plenty of senior programmers, analysts and designers that command more than $100k.

I could be doing the same work for $100/hr.

Who do you think you are, le Guido?

If I had 100$/h I would only work five or six hours per week. What's the point of more?

If you had the opportunity to work for $100/hr that would not be an option.

EPIC POST, /G/UIDO! XDDDDDDDD

Stop using retarded /g/ memes or fuck off back there if you want to use them so much.

Saging then telling posters to go back to /g/ is a worn meme, it's sort of the only thing /prog/ is about. It's about looking at EGIN, SHALOM and SPAM-guy, then "hardcore" /prog/ers telling them to go back to /g/.

I am good at math. I studied artificial intelligence in college. One of my pet projects is a model to predict the results of NFL games. Right now it can predict the Vegas over/under with stunning accuracy. Unfortunately, I didn't have any money to gamble with this season.

$100/hr. is quite common for iPhone developers.

For developers of iPhone, perhaps. Developers of ShitApps make half of that tops.

Because most people agree on a yearly salary, not on an hourly rate. I know you're a kid so this is hard to understand.

Ask a friend to gamble with his. He is sure give you some of the profit.
And in my area, for stupid reasons, up on front we hire vmware masters at 45USD/Hr or more.

>>23
We all know the cheaper option.
