No I'm in Canada.

I live in a small city and consult in a big one so I get lower living costs (actually more for the same money) with higher consulting fees.

I currently only charge 55$/H but it's for garanteed 40 H / weeks with 1 month warning before contract end. I also have a lot of other perks that consultant don't normally have. The biggest one being no traffic, no support and 100% flexibility in hours worked.
