Wow.

I shouldn't have clicked on this link. Now, not only I feel underpaid, but I also feel incredibly confused. How will I find people willing to pay me $400 an hour, for more than six months? I mean, mm I really reading about 800k per year? I had no idea I could one day bill that much. I honestly thought this type of annual income was reserved to large corp CEOs, hedge funds people, lawyers, and the like. Turns out I was wrong.

Time to switch from distributed systems and databases to finance and SEO, and cryptography (& crypto sound very interesting!) fast!




I am sure there are plenty of SEO people working for $10/hr.


I think you misread the poll. The highest bracket is $150+/h, it doesn't even go near $400.


I think he's referring to the discussion in the comments, where some posters are saying that it should top out at $400+, not $150+.
