Because it tends to make a difference when the people spending the money decide who to spend it on. Feel free to leave it out if you want.

$85-$100, Dallas, 10

75, Florida, 8, M (I might need to increase my hourly by the looks of your numbers)

As a Sr CW in NYC, I was advised to never take less than $1k/day.

It depends. If it’s a great creative opportunity at a place I’d be interested in going full time at, I’m more flexible when negotiating (1k/day). If it’s a boring agency, I go for (1,2/day). If it’s pitch work I also charged higher vs actual client work where I can get something for my book.

Which strategy is better?

#1 - The first tactic I learned for salary negotiation is to give them a # and act like you will walk away if it's not met. I forget the details, but something like even if they give you a lower #, you still stick to your #.

#2 - You can also give them a # and they may come back with a lower # and you can take it or leave it.

#3 - A new coach told me about giving a range. He said if you give them a #, they may flat out say no.

Can't they say no to any of these?
