  1. I have to strongly disagree with the "race to the bottom" theory. I thought the same thing back in 2015 and it discouraged me from freelancing. When I finally got over that in 2017/2018 I went out there, set my pay rate that I wanted and I got it. It's been like that ever since.

  2. ​ @eraldo_c  I offer full stack web development services. I mostly work with small sized companies or small dev shops with multiple clients. If I'm working with a dev shop I don't always know how big the client is, could be a medium sized company. I look for contract work on job boards, and also have good reputations built up on freelancing websites where I can find clients.

  3. Good for you. Also don't believe what he says about freelancing sites as "a race to the bottom". I used to think so until I tried simply setting a higher rate, and now I am getting work at exactly the hourly rate I want. Turns out many people in USA want someone who they can communicate with better, even if it costs more.

  4. You will definitely make it. Also don't listen to him about the "race to the bottom" in freelancing, I once fooled myself into thinking that and it discouraged me for years from freelancing. Took me over two years to change my attitude on it and when I did I simply set what rate (I started at $20/hr which was more than I was making at my job) and I found the freelance work I wanted.
