pricing for “trust me”
After a certain point, a large part of your fee becomes this thing I call the “I know what I’m doing” fee. People are choosing to pay you so they don’t have to second-guess thier decision.
Motivations
My primary reason for not having a regular job is that I consider my time to be worth way more than any sane person would pay for it. This isn’t because I spend it in ways that are particularly better to working a job, but because I have a ridiculously low tolerance for things I don’t feel like doing.
The second reason is that I do not get along with most company cultures (or people) in my home country.
