Discussion Ask HN: Freelancer Rates in the US Hello,I have often been somewhat confused when it comes to hourly rates for freelancers in IT. While it is pretty normal to charge more than 60€/h here in Europe I’m always shocked to come across postings like these from the US:https://soshace.com/jobs/python-back-end-web-developer-remot...This is a remote python job for an intermediate or senior developer that pays 20-30$/h. And not the first one of that kind I came across.That would mean a freelancer makes less than half the money as compared to a 9-5.Is this normal? 102 points dirtnugget 6 years ago 92 comments

That would mean a freelancer makes less than half the money as compared to a 9-5.
Is this normal?
