Yeah - super senior freelancers who used to charge 2k-3k a day are now accepting gigs for much less. Booooooo. Sorry to be a downer.

Yep. If you’re super senior. Just take some solid production work for lower $$$. It pays the bills and still better than other ways to make money. Then this cascades down to why juniors can’t find work.

Slowwwwww. For everyone I assume? But definitely at that level.

I’ve built a reputation I’m proud of @ my company. I’m underpaid for what I do (started as an intern) & recently asked for a market adjustment. Management acknowledged that I’m undervalued & plans to set me up for a promotion. It’d come with more responsibility, which doesn’t align with my goals.

Is it wise for me to remain open to a promotion just for increased pay? Or should I be transparent with management about my goals (& possibly not get the pay I’m asking for)? Or any other tips?
