I am a recently graduated student with my Bachelor of Fine Arts — Graphic Design. I was reached out to by a pro sports team I’ve been looking to work for and asked if I’d be interested in freelance before the job is officially posted. What are good freelance rates to give them as a starting point?

What salary expectations would you have as a full time employee? You can take that rate and increase by self employment tax rate with expenses etc to derive a number. What you may not realize yet, is when you pay taxes they will send you a 1099, and you will het substantially less earnings as a freelance worker so need to accommodate cost increases to cover. Talk to a tax accountant if you can for mpre specifics. Source: did this out of college and thought i was doing good at around 70k and ended up owing 15k or something in taxes years ago on top of what i thought id have to pay.

My best advice to you is to determine the value based on the salary you would have asked for. Also - work with a financial advisor or tax advisor so that you can get your ducks in a row from day one. Otherwise, it will all bite you in the ass come tax season. Congrats! Hopefully this turns into a full-time position for you.

Hope this helps: https://www.waveapps.com/freelancing/graphic-design/freelance-graphic-design-rates#:~:text=According%20to%20Upwork's%20own,from%20%2415%E2%80%93%24150%20per%20hour.

Kind of having a breakthrough realizing that self-acceptance is the key to personal growth. Whenever I failed to achieve a goal usually I would just mentally berate myself and couldn't get over that thinking that would motivate me to do better, now that I'm okay with giving myself some latitude and accepting where I'm at and loving myself despite it I have actually made a lot more progress.

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
