Rather than locking experts into an hourly rate, our pay philosophy seeks to reward experts for their expertise: higher productivity and better quality can earn more money, rather than making the same amount on an hourly basis for someone less productive or less qualified than you. You will always earn at least $15 per hour for work performed but have the opportunity to earn more.
