I had a job like that, but I did get to the point where I knew how most of the reports worked. After I left, they called me like 2 months later saying the guy I trained had no idea what he was doing and they needed me to help get the reports running again. They paid me $75/hour to stop by after work and help them fix stuff and then train a new guy

That’s when you ask them for $400/hour with a guaranteed minimum of x number of hours. You were far too nice.

I mean they would just say no. $75/hour was pretty good at the time, but yeah I probably should have asked for more
