For someone with 10 years of experience and great portfolio, is it right to charge $95-$105 hourly rate for freelance projects?

Quoting a small agency and big one at this time for w2 work and wondering if this is right. I live in a major city, HCOL, but not as much as NYC or San Fran.

I have 5-6 years with a mid-portfolio that hasn’t been updated in years and make that amount/hr in the East coast market. Have been quoting $120 - $140 recently and no one is batting an eye. Definitely charge higher and do day rates at least.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K
