Going rate is $800-$1200 a day in New York for film centric producers. Use a few factors to decide what’s best for you - how long is the gig? (Longer gig, you might be willing to do $800 or less a day) Is this a relationship that leads to more work down the road? Does it offer you something you like (remote work, creative, etc). If this is your first freelance gig, is it worth taking to get the experience?

The nice thing about freelance - you don’t have to get involved with office politics and drama and if the agency is terrible, you’re done in 2-3 months.

I’d be cautious if they really want to low ball your day rate - ie $400-$500 a day.

Happy to share any other advice if you need it. Good luck!

This is such a well written, thoughtful, and accurate response. Any chance you’re hiring for your team? I am a Sr Producer based in NYC looking for a change.

I’d ask for $1k/d. Remember they’ll probably push back on the rate, so you’re setting your starting point with this.

Also remember that inflation is at 7%, which means if you aren’t increasing your cost by at least 7% then you are taking a pay cut

Crushed my final two interviews today. I will hear back sometime next week for a verbal offer for a Tech Solutions Consultant on the xWS team. Leaning towards an L4 but maybe they give L5 if the interview feedback was as good as I thought it went. Any thoughts on how I should negotiate base and equity? Maybe ask for sign on too?

Initially it will be manual and then it will have automation testing. At the same time I have an offer in another company with good package but there won't be much learning compared to the current company project I am yet to get locked. Is learning important and priority for 4.5 years of experience? Or better to go with the high package offer? (Other company offer is from TCS). Your valuable comments would help.

HELP! When using other offers to negotiate salary, does the employer usually ask for proof of your other offers that you mentioned? I’m super new to this so I’m just curious.

Also, if they do ask to show proof, is that a red flag? Or is that pretty common? If so, I imagine I’d just block out the company name and stuff like that?
