It should be minimum $125 or they’re paying you less than they paid 10 years ago

Good luck, please do report back!

$35 - I really hope it’s not pitifully low but based on current trends I’m guessing that’s what you’re getting at here

In my most recent freelance stint I was getting $100/hour or more at agencies and post houses. So I certainly hope Google would be paying at that level or higher

I'm not sure I'd call 8 years of experience a senior editor.

Sr editor I’d say 10 years.
hourly these days $50 to $80 maybe. Market has changed.

OP this post popped back up for me. How did your negotiations go?

Ughhhh people just really really suck sometimes!! So sick of this happening.
