Mid-level software engineer currently working for a startup in silicon valley.

Honestly I just need to code more in my free time to make the jump to senior im just lacking the motivation at the moment.

Can you do some consulting or start your own side business to supplement your income?

Yeah but that would cut into my freedom.

 

[Rusty Kuntz]

Systems architect that transitioned into consulting.

I'm able to set my own price and effectively choose when I work or projects I'm interested in.

It's nice.

 

[Starburst]

Yeah but that would cut into my freedom.

Not if you manage your time effectively…

How much U make?

How much U make?

Depends because I get paid piece rate. A vertical with this company is $400+ and a horizontal install is $800+. I collect everything because I work alone. 5 verts a week? $2000 gross. 5 horizontals—which is absolutely brutal because it's usually in an attic and unheard of—$4000 gross. Don't forget everything in between.
