My actual rate is 100 €/hr for developing work. I charge way less for skype calls, tests, discussions.
I am deeply embedded inside the small company I consult for, it is extremely nice because people trust me, are not in my way and are just looking for results.
Really happy, however since I don't only bring coding experience but also business acume I would definitely increase my rate to 150 €/hr .
People come to me with problems, I make sure they actually have that problem, I listen to the solution they propose, I actually make my own proposal about what should be done considering both business and technologies, we talk a bit, more problem or constraints arise, we tweak a bit whichever proposal is better and then I go ahead and I implement it.
Time spend talking between 10 and 30 minutes, client have its solution about ready the day after. We are both happy.
