This threads make me mad. In a theorically developed country making about 10€/h from freelancing as a side job. Mostly web with Python/Django and frontend.

You're asking a few questions here. I can answer from my experience working at a consulting shop that charged a lot of money... > Are they charging more because of overhead? Partially. There's overhead you wouldn't get with a single developer like office space and administrative overhead. A big overlooked piece of overhead is sales overhead. It's much easier to find 40 hours of consulting work a week than 120 hours o…
So you're saying it's a team factor and a single dev can't get into that 200€/person/hour range?
I am a a web (app) developer - not sure if that counts :) Right now I am working as a frontend lead for react apps and make 75-80€ / hour. I am living in Frankfurt, Germany. There is a huge shortage of experienced javascript developers here.
Are you doing this full-time (20days * 8hours * 75€ / month)? Are you charging per hour?

How do consulting shops charge so much? I mean, yes they got higher overhead than a single dev, but that's their own problem and not the problem of the client, so what's the difference fro a single dev here?

From 120-180k over the last 5 years or so, typically doing prototypes and MVPs for startups across platforms. Almost every project involves web servers, web clients and mobile clients. Mostly self taught but also studied cognitive engineering which has helped a lot in understanding how to create systems and work with AI.
If you don't mind answering the usual questions, how'd you get your start, and how do you pick up clients?
Instead of considering projects as clients, I look for collaboration efforts where there is a path to equity. Regardless it almost always begins as some sort of contract for an initial trial collaboration.

What apps did he make? How did he make money off of them?
I don't want to reveal anything that might jeopardize his apps with competition (and therefore hurt his family's income). He made games (more like word games and puzzles than real-time) and monetized them with ads. One trick he did was to rebrand his existing games with different titles, graphics, etc. to create his own competition, so sometimes he owns multiple apps in the top results for the same game category. Ver…

Are you doing this full-time (20days * 8hours * 75€ / month)? Are you charging per hour?
Yes and yes - I am working at my clients office mostly - around 1.5 days/week is homeoffice via remote desktop.
I read charging per hour is bad. I charge per month, but I don't make 80€ per hour (also React stuff), haha.

The number you threw out doesn't seem unreasonable though.
From the most expensive to the more cheapest (in general):
- US & UK
- West Europe
- Est Europe & Latin America
- Middle Est & Asia
In Latin America the rates normally go from 20 to 40 USD per hour depending of experience.
