Let's put it this way. Working in my country, Bolivia - I used to make $X/month.

Switching to oDesk and raising my rates immediately helped me land $X+400%/month. Immediately. It was just astounding to me. I'm sure I could earn more on other websites, and as a matter of fact I'm currently attempting to join TopTal.com

I've heard great things about that site and the way they operate.

You should raise your rates and get off of oDesk. Though it sounds like that's what you're about to do, with TopTal. If you're a reasonably experienced Rails developer with strong English skills and you're not charging at least 100USD/hour, you're underpaid.
