I've been a contractor on and off for years (and I still do it on the side...$100/hr for Linux kernel/driver and systems programming with emphasis on digital video ). I know why you charge more as an IC.
$120/hr is on the high side of what I've seen fellow ICs make in this town. $120k/yr is on the low side of what I've seen senior devs make in this town. 2x is suprising.

Why are you surprised by 2-3x? 120/hour is 2x 120k/year, which you charge for things like time off, extra taxes, and benefits.
