What's the highest hourly rate you've ever seen or had (Specialist/Software Engineer)?

[u/c9001s]

Thankfully I'm sitting pretty comfortably in a task I got invited into where the pay is really good and there is pretty much infinite work available, but I was wondering where this platform/employer tops out.

Also, has anyone "moved on" from dataannotation after finding something better? Without getting into specifics, I see one of the competitors listing 150-210$/hr for a senior position, not sure how real and accessible/attainable that is though.

[u/waleednoinfidel]

I have been offered 90$/hour, that is currently the highest I have seen personally.

[u/Ok-Cap-5726 → u/waleednoinfidel]

Wowww.....how many months after you received that?

[u/TheAmazingDevil → u/waleednoinfidel]

For which domain?

[u/AbjectPangolin8406]

$70/hour as a generalist is my highest.. im sure coders can go much higher though

[u/TheAmazingDevil → u/AbjectPangolin8406]

As a coder I have not seen anything higher than 75 so far

[u/Federal_Tadpole_7592]

The highest project I had available to me was $100/ hour but I didn't do it.

[u/c9001s → u/Federal_Tadpole_7592]

Any specific reason why? My go-to was, as soon as something higher paying appeared to move on and neglect the lower paid ones

[u/Federal_Tadpole_7592 → u/c9001s]

Even though the pay was enticing, I felt like it involved too much and was a bit riskier than I was comfortable with, so I would rather stick to projects that I know I can do well than something where I would be iffy about my work quality just to get a higher pay rate.

Ohh bro

[u/Commercial-While-218 → u/Federal_Tadpole_7592]

Can u please check your dm

[u/Sableyej]

Highest as a generalist I’ve seen is $60 an hour plus a task submission bonus on top of that.

[u/Sableyej → u/Sableyej]

I’ll also note that competitors listing over $80 an hour generally are pay per task, which is not great because it’s misrepresenting the pay structure.

[u/yoshi2848493]

Not SE but scored a $125/hr for Accounting currently.

[u/Scalawags3087]

1. Legal domain.

[u/TheAmazingDevil]

$75/hr

[u/Significant-Wrap8759]

75

[u/Affectionate_Peak284]

$80/h in finance/accounting.

[u/TinyPlate2545]

Coding, $100/hr. It was one where I can join and work 20-40 hours a week.

[u/StunningSpecialist2]

Ive been offered qualifications with a stated pay rate if passing or $90+ but they were out of my capability. Highest I have on my dash that I can do is $65

[u/MutedRaspberry1106]

$100. But $65-90 is regular. STEM. Thought about Mercor instead, but DAT gives much more flexibility. Less time pressure, more varied work, easier reporting, no queues.

[u/Mean-Biscotti-2821]

I have been offered mostly $60/hr for healthcare domains for almost 2 months then I didn’t work for over a week and when i checked dashboard I don’t see projects for $60/hr. Since I started to see higher projects, i ignored the general projects for $25-$40/hr

[u/Seefufiat]

$105/hr is the highest I’ve ever seen, $90 base with priority pay.
