Considering moving from staff to freelance producer. Any advice for getting started in freelance? Are their any resources for determining an appropriate day rate (other than the post below)?

When I first started out, I kept my day rate a bit lower to build a client base, and then increased it after 1 year.

Also, city and overall experience is what will determine an appropriate day rate.

Stay close with other producers, freelance and staff. They’ll help you set an appropriate day rate for your city.

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.

Hi everyone! Idk if I need advice or I’m venting but I’ve been looking for jobs actively right now and want to make a switch soon. There’s a gap in terms or compensation for the jobs I’m being approached for. These jobs offer the same compensation I’m at or slightly higher (5-7%). This is demotivating and I honestly don’t know what to do. I don’t make an awful lot (105K in NYC) and I’m looking for a 20-30% bump in terms of compensation. Am I crazy here?
