Agency here with a remote team.

We get all our hires through referrals. We keep things simple, our clients are not protected in a particular way when hiring us. We use a general contract - we only had problems once, when the hiring company went bankrupt and failed to pay our last invoice.

Client relationships are stable, none turned to another software contractor for the past 8 years of existence.

The company is registered in Romania.

Location: Europe

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Potentially in the future!

Technologies: PHP 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 , Symfony 2/3/4, Laravel 5.3 - 5.5, Sylius 0.14, 0.17, Phalcon 2, 3, Wordpress etc.

Resume: available on request.

What do you recommend for awesome money handling?

Some people could be in it for the adrenalin. People do dangerous things all the time, so it can still go on... what's the serotonin level for crypto users? :)

A team of web developers: 4 senior and 1 middle, all firstborn males :)

As a local, I often feel I would like to know more about the place where I live, read and ask historian friends to tell me stuff.

But, whenever I would go abroad with some programme where there was a "protocol" guide provided... it was pretty boring. Because he/she would go into so many details I had no connection to. I don't think I would actually pay for a "professional" guide.

... it's just my experience on the subject.

Hey! I'd love to sign up as a tour guide. Can I?

Could you detail the hourly rate you can have there as senior/junior dev? Do you happen to know the rates for php programmers?

It would be helpful to know more data on the companies that weren’t accepted or failed after:

- the amount of time founders spent on their project before applying

- correlation between age and university studies, previous work experience of founders at big companies

- what kind of tasks did they outsource

I'm sure there will be one, now that he passed. At least, I hope it will.

It's easier to get into YC fellowship. - can you put it that way?

Thank you, they seem really good.

My husband had the same problem when I met him. He was 27 and just decided to never ever make a living from programming again because he felt sick of it.

So, he decided he would organize bicycle rides in Transylvania. And he looked really cool doing that so I fell in love with him, but he wasn't making any money while working his ass off. I didn't care ( -I had a job), but after a while, he did. I'm used to not afford basic stuff, but he got sick of scarcity then.

We only started doing little websites for friends in the afternoon. But they asked for more, so what could we do, right?

And here we are after 7 years, having a small software company... in Transylvania. Many times it does feel like "eating glass and staring into the abyss...". Maybe it's a grownup thing to feel that way and stand up to it. It's the overcoming of all the winning is what gives you dignity, in the end, I think.

I don't think you should quit.

A Henry Miller quote: "Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets" - I find that very therapeutic.

It's interesting that you got a positive outcome. I also thought about this solution, but I just assumed, that it would work like a fine on them. And if clients would simply be fined, then they could decide for themselves whether to be late or not. And would obviously frequently choose to be late. And that's not something I want.

Of course, it may depend a lot on how you put it. I guess your clients rather felt a loss aversion and didn't just get comfortable with late payments.

(And there aren't so many children begging on the streets :) )

Just come to Romania. There is a town called Sfantu Gheorghe near Brasov. There really isn't much to do here. You can have all the quiet you want, even more. When I moved here from a big city, it took me a while to get used to it and literally stop hearing quietness. And there's plenty of nature and mountains and stuff.
