Does anyone here freelance on the side? How do you price yourself? I work in data science and so my w2 pays me $300k so around $150hr when broken down to hourly. Can I reasonably do the same work on the side through freelancing basing the project cost around $300hr? I just want to create an additional income stream since I was growing my real estate business for these past few years and now I’m waiting and saving for future opportunities and I’m bored and would like to increase my cash more.
