I’m $1000 a day. I don’t accept less per day. I’d rather pass on a job than take a rate cut. If you pressed me for an hourly rate it is $100 per hour.

Just about to start my first freelance gig. I said my rate was $1000/day and they negotiated to $900/day.

I never get hourly, it’s always been day rate. I ask for $1200-$1000 depending on client, willing to negotiate to $850.

like

I never accept anything lower than the threshold of “I’m really pissed I took this rate and it’s turned into a shit show.” If some recruiter wants credit for getting a rate down $100 a day, I rarely fold. I have a family that cares more about that $500 a week than some holding company. It also means asking the right questions about the gig so you don’t get blind-sided.

About the same as EP2. Be careful when negotiating down - I did it to get through the door for what was supposed to be a short gig and stayed way longer than expected. Be really comfortable with your lowest number.

$1200-$1300. Don’t ask, don’t get.

Transitioning from full time agency life to be a freelancer and/or part timer. How have folks negotiated their rate, hourly vs day? For reference, I’m in the Account/Project Management space and have 8+ years of experience. And I’d ideally like the rate to result in more $$ than what I was making when salaried. Thanks!

I’m currently a third year litigation associate in BL that will not hit the bonus this year due to a slow first half.

I’m contemplating a lateral move bc I am stuck/typecast on one or two matters and want to pursue a broader practice, and am not getting enough hours for good reviews/bonus/job security. Struggling with decision because I like my current firm. Any thoughts?
