Thinking about changing job and going freelance.
Hi
I'm currently working for a bigger IT consultancy firm. I'm specialised in networking (Mainly HPE Aruba).
Background: ~7/8 years in networking
- Company X (2018–2021): Network Consultant working across multiple clients () with Aruba, Cisco, PaloAlto, F5, Checkpoint, Fortigate, and SD-WAN
- Company Y (2021–present): Started as Network Engineer for 4 years, recently moved into a Technical Consultant role (Jan 2025). Mainly focus is Aruba Campus/DC/WLAN, from first meetings up to implementations. Some experience with security products (Tenable). Also experienced in the presales part.
I've recently received an offer from a company to become a freelancer (on a fixed yearly contract, 220days/year) and a 500€/day ex vat.
Is this a fair rate? I don't have a good comparison.
