1
00:00:00,780 --> 00:00:03,480
Now let's discuss full stack development.

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:09,570
Full stack developers on Upwork charge anywhere between 16 to $35 per hour on average.

3
00:00:10,170 --> 00:00:15,660
A full stack developer is someone who works with the back end or the server side of the application,

4
00:00:15,660 --> 00:00:19,380
as well as the front end or client side.

5
00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:25,980
Full stack developers have to have some skills in a wide variety of coding niches, from databases to

6
00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:33,150
graphic design and UI slash UX management in order to do their job well and achieve the client's goals.

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,720
Employers look for developers with multiple skill sets and qualities that they can limit the number

8
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,070
of resources needed.

9
00:00:41,370 --> 00:00:46,890
Therefore, full stack development is an excellent career choice because professionals in this field

10
00:00:46,890 --> 00:00:52,770
can supervise and handle any given situation during product development, which helps stand out from

11
00:00:52,770 --> 00:00:56,280
the competition as well as streamline the entire process.

12
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,990
Because when you have someone who is a good problem solver, they're working on the front end and the

13
00:01:00,990 --> 00:01:02,850
back end as a full stack developer.

14
00:01:02,850 --> 00:01:05,250
They have much less friction.

15
00:01:05,250 --> 00:01:09,810
They don't have to communicate with someone else in a different time zone way for them to get back to

16
00:01:09,810 --> 00:01:13,680
them, make a change, and then that change isn't correct and then they have to go back to them.

17
00:01:13,710 --> 00:01:18,360
It eliminates a lot of that back and forth and clients will pay more for that.

18
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,750
Cross discipline, web development skills involving front end and back end deal with the overlap between

19
00:01:24,750 --> 00:01:26,190
the front end and the back end.

20
00:01:26,190 --> 00:01:32,490
So they utilize all the coding languages of front end and back end, plus my SQL machine learning and

21
00:01:32,490 --> 00:01:34,950
more so as a full stack developer.

22
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:41,400
It's really up to you to take responsibility for the entire experience to make sure that it goes smoothly.

23
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,080
As a full stack developer, you can charge an average median hourly rate of $16 to $35 plus per hour,

24
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:57,060
while the top hourly rate is also in that $150 plus range, while the demand is high and the competition

25
00:01:57,060 --> 00:01:58,080
is medium.

26
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,690
So as you can see as a full stack developer, the competition is a little bit lower than front end and

27
00:02:03,690 --> 00:02:04,260
back end.

28
00:02:04,260 --> 00:02:10,650
And on the high end, you can still charge that top hourly rate of $150 plus per hour.

29
00:02:11,010 --> 00:02:12,510
So I hope that was helpful.

30
00:02:12,510 --> 00:02:18,600
Looking at all of the different freelance development skills that you can specialize in as a freelancer

31
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,520
to build a lucrative career.

00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,200
