I don't know if Patrick could do that, but I've been on the other side of deals materially equivalent to those numbers.

A 30k rack rate at those utilization rate is a high number but not an impossible one.

It is not a number you will get for software contracting. It's one you'll get for solving business problems that cost/are worth much more to your clients than that.

Sometimes that involves software.



I don't doubt it. I've certainly seen people bill similarly (and obviously it doesn't involve writing that much code) - I'm just trying to put the pieces together in this context.


The examples I'm thinking about are entirely code-based, with virtually no business reasoning involved.
