My first gig in 2019 paid $15 an hour and yesterday I got $65 for the same work from a different company
Back in 2019 I took a data entry job through a temp agency for $15 an hour. It was just typing information from paper forms into a spreadsheet. Yesterday I got a similar job from a direct client in Phoenix for $65 an hour doing the same thing with online forms. The big difference was I learned to market myself better and stopped using those low paying gig platforms. Has anyone else seen their rate jump like that after switching where you find work?

Ever considered asking for project-based pay instead of hourly to push that rate even higher?

Gotta disagree on that one though. $15 to $65 is a huge jump no matter where you live, that's like 4x the rate. Location matters but learning to cut out the middleman matters way more imo.
