That sounds low. Especially in New York. If it’s a big company, I’d imagine 800-1k/day is more realistic. Depends on a lot of factors though. Can you give more info?

Obviously, no one will tell you the maximum they can pay you. So always ask for more.

I’m coming from a different market so feel a bit blind

Hi. I've been in this same position. In the end I asked the agency to tell me what they were thinking and they said $600 per day. I have heard of higher...and there are other places I've applied to who think that $600 is outrageously high. So I'm keen to hear what others have to add too : )

Yeah agree with @ae1, $600 seems very very low unless you’re pretty junior.

Thanks all! I do motion graphics as well as editing & have ~4 years experience at big agencies. My rate has been 800/day with absolutely no issue for a while now so I gave 800/day & was given the ol’ “thanks we’ll let you know if work comes up for you”. Even though they reached out to me asking availability 🙄

Seems like a special skill set that should have been discussed before hiring. Confused and burnt out.
