6 more months of extra bank? I’d go back and offer them to stay 6 months with your regular rate. They already proved not to keep their word, so you gotta look out for yourself
The freelance producer demand is very high right now, as agencies are super busy. I wouldn’t wait around for a full-time job, I’ve heard that too often myself. It’s nice to have a long term gig, but if you are feeling undervalued financially, then I would take new offer or see if current gig will match rate.
Be nice and tell your current employer the truth. Give them the option if you are happy where you are.
Take the new gig. Where you are is not to be trusted.
Tell the current place that you have an offer at your full rate and see if they will match it. If not, politely tell them that you need to move on, but are still interested in full time if/when that opportunity presents itself.
There is way too much work out there for you to be working for less than your usual day rate. You can push them to increase the pay if you want to stay.
Go for the money their doing the same thing.
Your rate is all you have, protect it fiercely. As a production agency, we're now seeing EPs and other key roles start to decline reduced rates or volume discounts (hangover from COVID). If you can claim full rate, get after it. If that company is honest, they'll budget better next time to afford you.
