Do do any tests of any kind. Ask them to hire you freelance for one week if they want to try before they buy. Your freelance rate will tell them what your expectations are about money. Don’t bring up salary unless they do. Maybe you can permalance for them.

For free. Which is why I have a book... to show my thought process and ideas. Also, they are VERY far away from meeting salary expectations. I’m not sure how to respond. Any ideas?

Another question - should I bring up the salary questions before going in? They’re 30-50k lower then I would accept.

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

How much higher should my 1099 hourly rate be compared to hourly breakdown of annual salary? Like add 30% for taxes, then roughly how much more considering no benefits etc. - like 10-15%?
