How much does it cost to hire Python developer for back end?

[davewhite]

I see a lot of different costs from $10/hour to $100/ hour, where the truth is?
I've found the guide like this [mod: removed link, might be spam?] but I'm not sure it gives true information. Please share your experience. How much do you take for such work?

Are you hiring?

If you're looking for work, start by asking for $100/hr. If you're hiring, start by offering $10/hr.

I can only speak in generalities as a programmer; Python back end might be super in demand ($100+) or, maybe demand was high and it's waning after everybody went out and learned Python, so more like $50/hr or maybe less.

In general, 10$/hr is very, very low for tech skills (assuming US and US$ - $15/hr is minimum wage in many places and I think federal is actually a little over $10/hr). 30$/hr might be a "teaser rate" for your first contract job (just out of high school, say) but $100/hr is not outrageous if you have a good track record and maybe a master's degree or two. $100 hr is definitely reasonable for someone with a PhD (if I had a nickel for every Physics PhD I met who ended up with a programming career...).

"where the truth is?"

On the formal quotation you receive, or on the invoice.

If you go onto sites like Freelancer, you'll probably find US$200 to $250/day is about the going rate, but quality varies widely. If you want local people on-site then probably double that or more.
