Day rate v. Hourly I currently accepted a rate for 20 hours a week, which I don’t like doing because I always end up working more. How do you define your hours in these instances and make it known that they aren’t paying you to be available all day long?

Day rate is preferable to cover you for any hours you work. Charge for weekend days, take comp time if you’re doing late nights. But If you are on an hourly and they want you kept to 20 hours, you tell them that you’ll bill them for the OT. If they can’t afford to pay you over 20 but abuse your good nature, you have to decide if you will accept it or not. Learn to be a tough negotiator. And, look for other work if they don’t value you. Jump to better when you can.

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?
