Added pre-tax freelance rate #7

Closed actuallymentor closed 4 years ago

actuallymentor commented 4 years ago

This is not ready to merge. I added my hourly rate, you should add yours. I chose mine based on a recent assignment, I've had higher and lower but this one is conservative.

Please commit your hourly as well and let me know if any of the other variables need to change.

After we are done we can compile to PDF and add our signed versions and merge into master.

I'm unsure what number to fill in. You have more relevant experience, but I am a ginger so very rare. Also, should I merge this first and then add my stuff, or should I work on this branch and submit another pull request?

Re:number

How much were you paid at your previous jobs? The idea is to go for 'market value'. If you don't feel like your past jobs represent your market value choose a monthly wage that you think makes sense and divide by work hours.

E.g. 48k/year is monthly wage (pre-tax) of €4000 means 4000/(8*5*4) equals €25.

Re:pulling/merging

You can pull this branch locally and commit your changes, we can merge once we are agreed on all parameters.

While not entirely unreasonable I so feel like it's a bit on the high end seeing as the skills you're contributing are as of this moment more peripheral than directly producing. That's not to say that this number needs to be static, if you end up gaining js skills that allow for direct contribution we can just change it along the way.

That said I do not want to create an circumstance where anyone feels undervalued or cheated.

Given the above, what amount would you feel comfortable with that would be geared more towards the skillset you're employing at this time but wouldn't make you feel diminished?

I would seriously hate to drop under €30 per hour, but I agree with your reasoning. Start me at somewhere between €30 and €35 per hour, bumping it up when I start bringing relevant skills (i.e. programming, design) to the table?

actuallymentor commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the clear response. I'm cool with 30 but don't want to go for the bottom of your range. Shall we go for 33?

bramgrolleman commented 4 years ago

Sounds okay. Will update.

I've compiled the PDF and signed it. When you're ready and signed it commit yours. To selectively commit a file:

git add documentation/*.pdf
git commit -m "Bram signed agreement"
git push

Merging prior to splitting repos into doc/code.
