Lump sum per project is good - and the key for you in the short term would be to take projects very similar to ones you have already done. You have hopefully built up a nice library of projects you can draw on, so if you take a new project that has 90% similar workings to a project you've already done, you could cut that 50 weeks down to 5 weeks - and $30k/5weeks isn't bad at all.



Thanks, I've been telling myself that for awhile -- the problem is I don't look for gigs.

Has been over ten years since I worked a 9 to 5 (where yes, I made more $$), all remote freelance work since I departed the cube.

In the end I enjoy coding and creating to the exclusion of all else -- need to work on the business front, marketing, putting myself out there, etc.
