Current Rates for Software Development

Question

I'm wondering what the situation is with software development in your countries. In Poland, the prices for software house services are growing year by year, but they are still very favorable (on average about 60 EURO). Still, I don't have any current data on how it looks in other European countries or the States. What are the current rates for software house services in your countries?

In 2021 I was working for a relatively small engineering services company in the US Midwest. Rates billed to customers for hardware & software engineers were between $150 - $200/hour depending on experience. Most projects were in the $60k - $250k range.

Midwest. Was hiring entry-level consultants from a reputable company for about $100/hr. Never saw rates for the lower-tier shops but I&rsquo;d guess it&rsquo;s about $70-80/hr for low quality engineer. This is how much we were paying companies, heard their engineers cut was about 25-50% of that.
