Anyone else think $21k for this much time is too low? That's $156k a year assuming full-time hours which a contractor probably isn't going to get. Plus the guy lives in California. Plus health insurance.
What's a typical rate for this length of contracting work in California?
Keep in mind the work being done. He emphasizes its simplicity. This is not a senior role requiring a huge amount of expertise.
Of course, he's probably charging too little in general. Everyone is.
3x salary is the general advice given to contractors starting out.
$156k is 3x my salary from a few months ago and I'm building out business critical systems, not dreamweaver level websites
