Like, picking any random number for the starting point, $800 a day is not The Last Morally Correct Point For Technical Work. If you make them a million dollars then $4k a day is fine, they're getting excellent value, and you've still got room to go up.

If you feel aesthetically unpleasant about asking for too much money and you're aesthetically OK with a company soaking up the surplus, I won't try to convince you to have different aesthetics... but have you considered owning a company? It's surprisingly easy.

Everyone keeps saying that the economy's doing well, but wages aren't going up. Charge more. It's your duty as an American.

I worked with a client who struggled with this, so I told her to gradually increase with each proposal until someone said 'No'. She was charging $5,000 for a piece of work ... got the first refusal at $13,500, same work. How much better do you think her life is now!

Here is the problem with that. If your rates are too high then you will miss out on some very interesting and challenging assignments. You will become highly competent at the same dreary and dull task.

You become a specialist, yes. That doesn't mean there aren't new challenges. Specialists, when you need them are very hard to find and it's why you're able to charge what you charge. They're also not always worth retaining long term because of the limited scope you need em for.

If you do excellent work, are organized, communicate well and set expectations (that you then cautiously exceed just a bit), you can charge a premium for your work. Note: charging this premium affords you to be excellent technically and provides a better quality of life for you!

Will you get “every job” that comes your way? NOPE. And that’s 100% fine because you WILL get the jobs where there is a client on the other end that appreciates (and is willing to pay for) quality!
