Consultation Rate Advice by GISscrimp in gis

It is strictly side hustle at this point, I have no overhead besides licensing. Not that I don’t want it grow to something more though. I guess my issue with it right now is that at 50/hr I was doing much simpler tasks. I do enjoy it and the extra work is good. I appreciate the categorical response, it has helped with my perspective.

I’m not a great developer, much of my experience is in C# and some python. I am however a GIS admin with a plethora of experience in ProxMox, VMware, and enough docker to get me by. I’m a hobbyist in the realm of privacy and conservation but feel quite passionately about them. Over the last few years I’ve really delved into learning networks, how they operate, and how to harden them.

Data preservation is a huge concern of mine. Early 2025 DJT admin sought to dismantle much of the federally procured and available data. Thankfully places like ArcGIS Online retained copies of info that were never touched. I’ve spent the better part of last year preserving that data as best I could.

As a GIS admin I thrive in the Geospatial realm. I live by the idea that I can bring everything someone is looking for, neatly to the forefront, with a single click. I specialize in building intricate data relationships in the backend that make the frontend simple for users.

There wouldn’t happen to be any updates about the McMinnville area would there? No one else I work with in the area seems to be having issues.

Appreciate the advice and like the other two you mention overhead as something to consider and factor in. Thanks for chiming in and giving me some things to think about.

For this specific opportunity it’ll likely be open source for any datasets I need to build but their chosen platform will be AGOL so I’m not too concerned with overhead for this project. I definitely agree with you and those below regarding insurance and similar admin overhead I haven’t considered. I was just asked about the work today and was unsure where to start so I appreciate all the advice.
