I don't understand, could you re-phrase? Also, do you see your current hourly as sending a high, middle, or low end signal to clients?

I feel like that the guys which handles the project in Upwork are not real developers. I said: "I am a developer", because I work on fascinating problem, I practice problem solving everyday, we do not do "web scale" (TM) indeed ; but I find pleasure in my work, compared to what Upwork offered me.

It is rare that developers have direct contact with clients, so I am not exactly sure about what clients feels about our hourly rate. A Product Manager might be more insightful about this question.
