Hey everyone, for the first time in a long time I’ve been asked to provide a quote for some contract work. What are the going rates these days for US-based senior CFML contract work?

I'll be very interested in responses to this, if any. Back when I last did contract work, $85/hour was the minimum I would take -- and would quote above that depending on location, length of contract, and whether I actually wanted the work in the first place. And that was in line with several other senior CFML devs I knew rates for back then. I don't know if stuff like Upwork etc has "poisoned the well" in terms of rates these days -- and whether the shrinking pool of good CF devs has affected rates.

I took $50/hour on upwork several months ago. Only CFML contract work I've ever done, and hardly any cf was involved.
