Depends on the work you do.
Depends on the work you do. The feedback I get from clients is definitely not that I'm overpriced. It's that I'm really valuable to their efforts. My goal is to provide as much value in the business sphere as I do in the development sphere. And I've never had a client leave me (though I've left one or two.) I have had several who come to me a couple years later asking for help to fix what the cheaper option did. There are definitely potential clients that can't afford me—for those I try to find a way to help them anyway, whether it's by reducing the scope of work, offering free advice over a long lunch, or pointing them toward someone I trust who charges less. But I never reduce my rate. Doing so is just working for free. I've come to understand through a lot of remediated projects that I keep fixing problems created by large shops (that shall remain nameless) that were billing 2x or more what I did. That'll do a lot for making you feel better about charging more for yourself.
