Depends on where you're at and what the level is.
Charge what the market will bear.
For the past year, I was getting $110/hour in New York City.
Then the client decided to shift almost all technical work overseas to
India where they paid very, very low rates -- they thought.
I'm no longer there -- I'm on the beach.
The work they got back from India had to be reworked many, many times --
both the technical writing and programming. Yes, the people in India knew
English. But, they left out articles (a, an, the), used strange sentence
constructions, mixed British and American terms, did not write concisely,
etc. The resulting telephone calls and rework didn't, in my opinion keep
the rate low.
