Soooo... This happened

Then I got to fill a Google form, there they're asking my hourly price. I've never done such *paid* work. I'm a 2nd year undergrad, what price should I set?

Please help!

$1k/h. Or maybe 1$/h?
How the hell should we know 😄

@Froot lmao 1k$/hr is prolly gonna bankrupt the company if u try to slow the project down a bit xd

@Froot I mean, this is my first freelance work. I have no idea what to set the price

@speedForce
Never undersell, but never oversell. Find your middle ground.

Hard isn't it?

How skillful are you at ROR? What do you know about their company? Do you think you can help them with your time? How much do you think most people are getting paid for that quality work? These questions seem easy, but they're not (in my limited experience)

Remember how I said at the start "Never undersell, but never oversell. Find your middle ground"? This is something I hear everywhere. At first it sounds like good advice, but it's really just stating the problem.

I don't have much experience in this area unfortunately, but there's plenty of information online, and lots of books about this exact issue!

@coolq I'd say your better off overselling than underselling. If you ask too much you'll get feedback instantly, mostly in the form of a rejection. But you'll know. If you undersell you'll get no feedback and you'll never know.

Also a general rule I've found pretty reliable is that if they accept straight away then you're probablly selling yourself cheap.

@Froot
Okay, thanks!

@coolq thanks a lot!

How much do you think doing the complete project should be compensated with ÷ estimate of number of hours it will take

Look up entry level ROR developer salaries in Sweden. Shave off maybe like 2% since you are still in school. Bid that and see what they come back with.
