Comment on Ask HN: What do you do and what's your consulting rate?

Comments

Lawyer (corporate/VC/M&A) for $495 per hour, with discounts offered if they have me on retainer.

Python/Django/React.js developer for $295 per hour.

I offer both of these together at a blended rate to folks who need both a lawyer and a software developer.

Strange intersection, but can you give examples?

The most common case is very early stage technology startups where most of their employees wear many hats. They usually have no legal counsel and maybe 1 or 2 developers including a CTO. They need help on everything from employment agreements, fundraising and NDAs to building the newest API endpoint or Airflow DAG.

It's a little strange at first to have someone doing very different jobs for them simultaneously, but when you're that early stage and having difficulty hiring, it's a blessing once you realize I'm highly experienced and hard-working at both.

Any software company with competitors.

Just out of curiosity... what kind of project require a lawyer and a developer on the same job?
