Now let's discuss full stack development.
Full stack developers on Upwork charge anywhere between 16 to $35 per hour on average.
A full stack developer is someone who works with the back end or the server side of the application,
as well as the front end or client side.
Full stack developers have to have some skills in a wide variety of coding niches, from databases to
graphic design and UI slash UX management in order to do their job well and achieve the client's goals.
Employers look for developers with multiple skill sets and qualities that they can limit the number
of resources needed.
Therefore, full stack development is an excellent career choice because professionals in this field
can supervise and handle any given situation during product development, which helps stand out from
the competition as well as streamline the entire process.
Because when you have someone who is a good problem solver, they're working on the front end and the
back end as a full stack developer.
They have much less friction.
They don't have to communicate with someone else in a different time zone way for them to get back to
them, make a change, and then that change isn't correct and then they have to go back to them.
It eliminates a lot of that back and forth and clients will pay more for that.
Cross discipline, web development skills involving front end and back end deal with the overlap between
the front end and the back end.
So they utilize all the coding languages of front end and back end, plus my SQL machine learning and
more so as a full stack developer.
It's really up to you to take responsibility for the entire experience to make sure that it goes smoothly.
As a full stack developer, you can charge an average median hourly rate of $16 to $35 plus per hour,
while the top hourly rate is also in that $150 plus range, while the demand is high and the competition
is medium.
So as you can see as a full stack developer, the competition is a little bit lower than front end and
back end.
And on the high end, you can still charge that top hourly rate of $150 plus per hour.
So I hope that was helpful.
