From what I read, you're just making stuff up on the spot with no actual experience of evidence to back it up. $40/hour is an absolute joke unless you can actually prove you know what you're doing. I know a lot of pentesters that are good and will work for less than that. Secondly, you're an idiot because you start flaming everyone on your sales thread. This is business 101, you're not going to get any clients and you might as well start a new thread and get a new mind set.
I am not flaming anyone, sure I am young and passionate about my work and like to call idiots by their rightful name, idiots.
Throwing blank statements just appeals to the ignorant public, provide an argument I will provide a counter argument.
$40 an hour on a full time job could indeed be relatively high, on a part time job I have seen offers worse than mine run up to 120 euro per hour.
Business 101 is people who matter don't care and people who care don't matter, don't know how much business experience you have but I assure you nobody cares who and what I called someone in the free market. Those who care don't have the money to employ me for 15 minutes anyway.
