Which Developers Earn More: Corporate vs. Freelance

2 points by lexda15 7y ago ↗ HN

I was wondering Which Developers Earn More: Corporate or Freelance.

I was surprised by stats that I finally got.

‼️Only 32% of all full-time freelancers earn more than they got at a company.

And the highest hourly rate is for Javascript developers. ‼️

It's about $68 per hour. It's pretty cool, I think.

However, this rate is just for American freelancers.

What do you think about the study?
