I charge *way* too little. I guess I'm dumb but I like working for the
interesting small companies that can only afford modest rates. Also I only
actually know poor companies ! ;-)
My top rate - working directly for the client, no agency - is still £25 /
hr.
When I was working for a firm of consultants way back , they used to
'charge me out' to clients at £42 / hr and that was 15 yrs back. Inflation
is historically around 100% per decade so that would be about £100 / hr
now or more ! WOW ! That's insane ! On the other hand if you can get it
it's GREAT ! In that instance the company did obviously provide nice
services to the client including super offices for meetings with a proper
conference room and filter coffee on tap of course. Pretty girl in
reception etc.... Plus you're also indirectly paying a small amount for
the back-up support and admin staff too.
