The Pay Rates Report is an excellent resource. It’s actually Australian (which can be hard to track down) and is based on genuine freelancer experience. That’s important. There are pay scales out there that are somewhat fanciful estimates intended to sell you a course in becoming a digital nomad. This one is real. It also distinguishes between various areas of work so you know what might apply to your own field or experience. Also, it’s free. Get it.
