In Norway a dev starts at $100k a year; or you can pay roughly $250 an hour for freelancers. Labour laws in Norway are very strict, which means hiring someone is a big step. When we first started the project we didn't really foresee how big of a task it would end up as, so we went with outsourcing. If I had to do it again, I probably would have hired one in-house dev.

I still think you paid more than the site is worth but... you can get that kind of rate for freelancing PHP? I think I need to move to Norway.


You can definitely get that amount for freelancing PHP in the states.


Either you're joking, or I've wasted my career.


I'm not joking. In the right cities, the high cost of living will pull you that amount.


You and me both, i get 65$ an hour in Sweden.
