On average in what city? Do you want to oay average? How will you test their skills?

City wise, we have 3 options. Boston, New York or San Diego. I guess the best test of their skills would be a referenceable experience. A github portfolio or something.

Come out to the Boston react native Meetup and talk to folks; it's a great community!

I'm a React and React Native consultant in Indianapolis. $100k for mid-level is about right, but the cities you listed (New York, Boston, San Diego) push that number to $125k+. I have some availability if you're interested in a contractor, and if you don't want a contractor I'd be happy to help with any advice I can (email is in my profile).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thats not implied in the OPs post.

It is implied in some people's minds as they read it as I've just written this. It wasn't implied in yours so we have evidence the interpretation is subjective.

Thats called projecting. Seems you are used to dealing with cheapskates. That sucks.

Those three locations will increase the cost by a fair amount. Id try hiring a remote developer located in the US. Less expensive because they tend to live i areas withower costs of living. BTW, react native is something rather new. You wont find anyone outside of the core group of react native developers who really knows it. You will probably have to include some time for training.

I would suggest something similar. Looking for remote developers if possible those are 3 of the highest salaries markets. In terms of skill set. If you hire React developers they should do fairly well in terms of development. Unless of course your app will need a lot of customizing then you may need someone who can understand and develop in objective-c/swift and/or Java.

Id say there is a higb likelyhood they will need someone witg react and native expeirence.

You should have attached your post to one of the ones that you felt implied this.

It depends but I usually charge no less than 50$/ hour. That's if you want someone who fully understands GraphQL, Redux, Sagas, Thunks, Generators, Offline Persistence, etc

Fyi you're charging a lot less than I used to when doing contract work that predominantly involved wordpress template brochure websites.
