Hi friends. Freelance Senior CW (7-8 years) here, currently negotiating a 2 month freelance contract at mcgarrybowen. They want my hourly rate which is always tricky in my opinion. My typical day rate is 800/day (Atlanta, Chicago). I'm thinking of saying $100/hour, but want to be competitive. Thoughts?

(For context, I have no idea whether this is for their NYC or Chicago office.)

As long as you make it clear you’re going to be billing for full days, I’d just divide my day rate by 8. Fwiw you could probably get more, I have 8 yrs and I bill 1200/day (nyc)

Hello! I was offered a position at the middle of the posted salary range. I exceed every one of the requirements and all but one of the preferred qualifications.

Anyone else have experience moving from a high-pressure agency with a lot of room for creativity to a more laid back agency with some technical clients thrown in? How did you adjust?
