I'm curious what various services people provide in tech and what their consulting rate is...
Can you share?
It would be interesting to see the highest paying fields.

#4I’ve done developer relations at AWS and two unicorns, consulting rate is basically negative 10k/hour because I now meet founders for angel investing and that’s my avg check size :)
less facetiously i do wonder if i should do the proverbial patio11 move and Charge More (tm) but kinda dont want it to conflict with the day job.

#10I did a couple of Ruby trainings in last 6 months for $8000/day (2 total, so it was a bit more than $30k). I wrote a book (free, 400 page) about Ruby. I do it with my partner, I'm happy to pay 20% for all unrelated stuff (organizing, filling in gaps, communicating with people, etc).
