#2Also worth noting on his "hire me" page (http://hire.samsoff.es/):
"I prefer not to sign NDAs. If this is a requirement for you, there is a $10,000 fee to sign your NDA. You will need to sign my consulting agreement. It has confidentially agreement included."
He then has a very simple work-for-hire contract that includes an NDA.
There's something appealing about this approach, because reading arcane contracts while a project is still being spec'ed is quite annoying. So instead he shifts the burden to the client. But, obviously, many clients won't swallow that.
I'm curious if he can make this work.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't care if it works, he is working on his own project.
He is invincible, hence the rate.

#4It's great marketing for his app, if nothing else.
"The guy who makes this app charges $1000/hr, he must be amazing!"

#8I think the part that shocks me the most is the fact that he has a client who is willing to pay him at this rate for 3 hours. I can see the benefits of doing this, but lets be frank here unless you're good and have the proof to back up the rate then you'll be laughed at by everyone for charging so much and be undercut. It's more than obvious Sam is more than just mediocre and can justify this hourly fee, I wish I could do the same myself.

#9Well I'd better get moving on Provolone... I can't wait to be charging $1000/hr.
Seriously though, that's pretty stellar if he can pull if off, and someone that's knowledgeable and creative enough is certainly worth it to get things going in the right direction.

#10What is the average hourly rate for high-level engineering consultation? It seems that's the service he's offering, and I don't really think he is overcharging.
