It is basically a not ending freelance contract (front end dev). I initially started this gig at 250€ a day (8hours), then 3 years and a half later after making myself non dispensable (investing myself genuinely in the product/ company) I rose my rate each year without asking permission to end at 500€ currently. In the same time my days went from 8hours to 6hours, as my productivity increased. I just love what I do and am good at it. BI Company of 10 people, 10 years old. I found it on malt.com (good French job board).

This all sounds insanely good to me but it doesn't match what I heard from other French devs who emigrated, about the situation in the tech scene in France.

You're basically making six figure salary for much less work than 40h/week, and at a small company while WFH to boot. Unreal. :)

How common is that in France?
