Hey fellow freelancers! I’ve been doing this for about 7 years now, but mostly work hourly/project-based. How do you translate your hourly rate to a day rate — is it as simple as x8 or do you take the edge off?

If by "take the edge off" you mean discount your rate, I'd say no. If anything, you might want to up it if you're expecting to work long hours (otherwise you might as well stick to hourly).

Just to elaborate:

Say your hourly rate is $100.

If you turn that into an 8-hour day rate, that's 800.

But we all know that there's no such thing as an 8-hour day in advertising, so now you're working a 10-hour day for 8 hours worth of pay.

Day rate is usually hourly x 10

Do this plus a slightly higher weekend rate.

I left biglaw after 3 years to a mid-size firm. Took a pay cut but the hours, people, culture and work were so much better I never thought twice about the salary or “prestige.” Ultimately I started 2 very small firms. I am not rich by biglaw standards but I have a very comfortable life and put my kids through college with no debt. 35 years after leaving big law, people are still impressed when I say I started there. I feel like I still had the benefits of the connection w/o the suffering.
