First time dipping my toe in a freelance project. Got asked my day rate. What are ACDs in NYC generally earning?

(Searched through a few bowls, but I couldn’t get a super recent answers. Apologies if there’s a better place for this question.)

$1300 -1500 daily rate is pretty standard for an ACD starting to freelance for the first time.

You can ask for this but I can almost guarantee that most places will say the best we can do is $1,000 a day. Happens to my friends who freelance all the time and they have fantastic books.
