Can other hackers comment on the $30K/week figure?
That number seems _excessively_ high. Having seen what top-tier lawyers and McK/BCG/Bain consultants charge, that rate seems almost absurd. Patrick is a celebrity amongst the HN set, but I don't think he has the cachet/reputation/prestige to get away with those "rack" rates with F500 executives.
This reminds me of of that recent indiehackers article posted here where they extrapolated one weeks of revenue to some absurd ARR figure.
I can see landing a couple of gigs at this rate, but it is disingenuous to present this is something he could land consistently...
