| And now I looked. ;-) "You do something so clever that you somehow beat the system, that’s called a hack" "After completing the test project, although the employer commending on the effort I put on, he couldn’t take me as he is looking for a permanent fulltime remote employee, not a part-timer. And he doesn’t have the budget to match my current fulltime salary. "I tell him frankly I might not have a lot of real world rails experience, but I really like web development and would love to have the opportunity to work on the project. So we discussed about the possibility of a part time arrangement on hourly rate. We come to a rate that is much lower than if I were to divide my fulltime salary by the hour. But heck, I am starting out and just glad to get my first freelance rails gig. "So far I have been in it for about 2 months, I work on the project by waking up early at 4 or 5 a.m. before going to work on weekday, then a total of 8-10 hours on weekend." You hacked your freelance gig. Congratualations on opening your eyes to something bigger. Thanks, and good luck. |
This is really nothing to shout about compare to people pulling out weekend projects, selling off apps for millions, or coding something really cool at much much younger age. I am just starting out, hopefully there are bigger things down the road :-)
