| cmaloney | How goes the morning? | 13:03 |
| brousch | tiring | 13:03 |
| brousch | Calculating a consulting hourly rate is stressful | 13:04 |
| cmaloney | brousch: I really hate that. | 13:05 |
| cmaloney | money and computers should never mix. ;) | 13:05 |
| brousch | heh | 13:08 |
| brousch | Moving from a salaried job with 401k, health care, paid time off to one with none of that is quite different | 13:09 |
| cmaloney | Ugh, are you consulting? | 13:19 |
| cmaloney | or freelancing? | 13:20 |
| jrwren | brousch: if you were making 50k, charge $50/hr. if you were making 100k, charge 100$/hr. It only sounds like a lot to you. I won't sound like a lot to your clients. | 13:52 |
| jrwren | brousch: Vacations, Health Insurance, Self Employment Tax and cost of business are expensive. | 13:52 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: I've always heard 2x from hourly to annual | 13:59 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: that can work too. | 14:00 |
| cmaloney | I prefer the "if you have to ask you can't afford it" methodology. | 14:01 |
| cmaloney | Just give me a blank check and I'll do the rest | 14:01 |
| brousch | jrwren: That's the rule of thumb I've seen from a few other people | 14:01 |
| brousch | It works out to roughly the same as rick_h_ suggests | 14:01 |
| brousch | The freelance calculators I've found online end up 15% below that | 14:03 |
| jrwren | brousch: give up that 15% and live in the poor house. I know. I did it. | 14:03 |
| brousch | heh | 14:03 |
| brousch | I'm afraid they're designed for punk kids willing to live in a van and never visit a doctor | 14:04 |
| mrgoodcat | lol spacex has a pricing page on their website | 14:57 |
| mrgoodcat | like i'm just gonna be browsing and be like 61.2M is such a good deal | 14:57 |
| mrgoodcat | hope they accept paypal | 14:58 |
| mrgoodcat | no "add to cart" button though | 14:58 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: Need to get away in a hurry? | 15:02 |
| mrgoodcat | in style at the very least | 15:02 |
| mrgoodcat | make all the bugattis at the club look like fools | 15:03 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: Hurray on the "no surgery" prognosis | 18:44 |
