I'll be your data scientist for $150/hour, or for free
- zubairq 11y agoNice you are being inventive! I wish more job hunters did the same :)
- computer 11y agoThank you! On a general note: my apologies for not including my identity and portfolio; I didn't want this experiment to be the first hit when you google me.
- lgas 11y agoWhy not?
- ericcumbee 11y agoIn a lot of professional services fields, the reputation of working for free or cheap tends to bring in really bad customers that tend to be more trouble than they are worth.
- zubairq 11y agoHmm, now I am confused. I thought you were giving your identity, that's why I liked it
- ericcumbee 11y agoI am not the OP.
- phantom_oracle 11y agoI don't see why you're hiding your identity. For that price, you shouldn't be afraid to put out a bit. Remember that as a consultant for hire (independently) you are the business. Plus you make it easier for people to verify your skills with your real ID. I know you may feel uncomfortable with it, but it's worth a shot, especially as a way to "advertise", although referrals will still be your biggest money-draw. Good luck!
- computer 11y agoThat's a good point. If I do a follow-up, it will possibly be on my personal website. For what it's worth, I'm responding to inquiries with my identity and more details. So far, I've received several really interesting projects.
