Thanks for letting me know. I'm not junior, but new to the US. I will be aware of this next time I take a freelance booking 👍

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.

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 🙄

I had a great review and a 5.5% raise and a great bonus at my company. But I also got a new Director and a peer manager of mine left the company, so I will be absorbing her team.
