[kwlug-disc] consulting fees

[Kyle Spaans]

Is it a full-time gig or are you on a short term contract? For short term
consulting people usually say ask for ~3x what your normal full-time salary
would be. This is to make up for time when you aren’t working and are
searching for the next contract.

If it’s full-time you could check Glassdoor.com to see what salaries are
like in the city where the company is located. If they are from the SFBA
you don’t want to end up underpricing yourself! I’d say Dave’s suggestion
of USD 100-150 is a good baseline, but I suspect you can charge more.
