Does this mean they are willing to pay me more? I would honestly be ok with $30/h but would you counter offer for per project basis since it was brought to the table?

30/hour is pretty lower especially for a senior strategist. If it was FTE it’d be $62k.

Your rate should be hire for freelance anyway. I can’t speak to your trade, but senior creatives can pull $1,000/day.

I also don’t know what market you’re in. So that’s a factor as well.

This hourly rate seems low for a senior strategist. When I started freelancing, I started at $60/hr.

Outside of that, I’m not a fan of hourly rates while freelancing except if I use a hybrid model (“our agency’s hourly rate is X and the project rate is Y, hours for this project are tracked. Anything outside of that will be billed at the agency hourly rate.”).

Finally, keep in mind that you will have to pay for your own benefits and self employment taxes. So you will be getting much less than $30/hr.

Also, keep in mind that if they are hiring you at $30/hr they value you and/or the role at that price. It may be hard to get agreement and properly implement your strategy if they view it or the worth to them as low value. It’s always better to come at the position as valued partner when freelancing.
