You’re fixated on the hourly cost and not taking into account expenses. Also, in the US freelancers have to buy their own health insurance and equipment which is insanely expensive.
Freelancers also don’t get full billing because they are not working all the time, so that 150/hour has tom over all the down time when work is not available. Freelancers also pay their own taxes and pension plans.
You’re just out of touch with operating costs for freelancers so maybe stop before you do some homework.
… This discussion is about former google employees not the contract work a commentor here used to do.
You are the second person attempting to make it about being a freelancer. I’m not interested. I would however be interested if you are going to discuss what I said in the context of the discussion.
Yeah I see what you mean. My bad. I did get fixated on the guy’s freelance thing. That being said, you should take COL into consideration when talking pay. I haven’t lived in the US in quite a while so I’m not sure what 300k gets you in some places like the west coast.

I think poverty wages extend above 100k in a few Bay Area cities, such as San Francisco.
