Anyone else get told their rates are too high (by potential clients)? Too low (by fellow freelancers)? How does one put a value to their time and still stay market competitive?

Looking for thoughts, recommended readings, any helpful input would be awesome.

Yes. Been told too high by fellow developers. Meh by clients<---- backwards af eh?

Sometimes we get odd situations like the one i mentioned. Best thing to do is try to gauge certain aspects, can the competition do what you do for cheaper? If now screw them and just find the best way to offer proper customer service. Customers value dependability a lot in some places, a lot more than cheaper services ime

That makes a lot of sense. I have been finding gigs based on my network and dev groups I frequent so the customer service is at a good start there. Just need to keep it up through the process and be genuine with the client.
