$150 an hour! Are you crazy? That's $24,000 a month! You do say "our" though, so maybe you're referring to a team of people. There better be at least six on that team!
Naw, I don't want hourly rates. I'm talking about fixed rate contract work. $150 an hour? Like THAT'LL encourage you to finish quickly! :-)

That's a much more reasonable rate, but again, I don't want to pay anyone hourly. There's no way to tell how long stuff actually takes to do over the net, and there's a whole complex set of laws for hiring hourly employees vs hiring people for doing fixed rate contract work which is fairly straightforward.
I understand that the amount of work required is a bit of an unknown factor, but overall if you've developed this sort of game before you'd have a pretty good idea how much is involved. And if I feel like I'm requesting a excess amount of changes or stuff beyond the original scope I laid out, I've been known to throw a few extra bucks on the table. Last thing I want to do is alienate someone who's doing good work who I'll want to hire for future projects.
