Yeah, I’ve been hearing this and I do 70/hr- same as when I was a junior. The right people will respect and pay you your worth.
The unfortunate norm these days. Client budgets are tight. I just turn down the job. If I'm getting $50/hr might as well get a retail job.
Don’t forget about taxes. But yeah, still more than $15
That's crazy because I know account folk getting $100-$125/hr freelance
I got paid 50 bucks an hour 20 years ago. The temp company probably charged another 40. Meanwhile my estate attorney doubled rates because you know, 20% inflation- and all / which absolutely makes me crack open ChatGPT and do her job for free. Gotta work for yourselves gang.
Rising Star
Agencies/companies know they can get people to do the work for that low, so they'll base their budget on it.
Wish there were a HATE THIS button
Man I made 50hr as a jr AD freelancing, what is up with rates now..
$100/hr is standard.
$50/hr is what you get when you have a middle man (a third party staffing agency)
What rate do you charge that is too high?
That’s great you’re making more money elsewhere! That’s my dream, to not have to design for $$ lol.
Another impact of this job market and cost-cutting, unfortunately.
All of my freelance work is negotiated by an agent.
Its done by day rate where I am. Full day is 10 hrs .
It’s 8hrs
