Considering going client side, but it’s a contract position. Any advice on hourly rate I should be looking at? 18+ years experience agency side. Role will be directly managing agency relationship. Any advice on making this leap appreciated!

Agree with both Director 1 and AVP 1 - also talk with your financial advisor if you have one - discuss what and how you should be looking at this change. You will be a consultant and basically be "running your own business" ask for tips on what to track as expenses

150 an hour is about right. but I agree with those that said you need to do the math.

Going Client/Brand side as a Contractor can be a horrible experience if you don’t plan it out well etc.

Some companies don’t even allow Contractors to be at all hands meetings or team events, let alone qualify for company wide bonus structure, which is kinda a plus to client/brand side.

Think about your benefits too.
