Hi all,

My current CTC is 13.5 LPA. I'm also working on a freelance project since 6 months which is paying 22 LPA post taxes but there is no reliability in how long this will continue. How should I save/invest this freelance income?

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
