There are a few places that will make your rate seem high. Either you did the math wrong, your expenses are high, or your starting salary is high. Check the math and tweak these two numbers to see if the rate is more reasonable. I’d also suggest against this mentality. If a client is willing to pay your rate, it’s not too high. You won’t know until you try. There are a lot of sites where clients are willing to pay you more money than you might expect.
