[lbo-talk] Dumb QOTD: What kind of labor produces intellectual property?

[shag carpet bomb]

if you're a freelancer, you subtract 1/3 from the hourly rate to get
the equivalent of what a salaried worker makes. that's pretty standard
stuff among contractors and usually honored by recruiters with whom
i've spoken.

the effective rate, therefore, is $40/hr. that's about $80k per year.
As far as I am concerned, that's a shit wage for living in NYC. YMMV.

for living where I live now? It's not bad, no.
