I have an interview for a big in-house place coming up. A friend who works there, same role I'm interviewing for, makes I think 40/hr. I'm at 56/yr now, way cocky for me to go in asking for $45/hr?

Wouldn’t call it cocky to ask for essentially $40 more bucks per day. Honestly if you’re already at $55/hr now, I’m surprised you won’t ask for that. Or at least $50. It’s not like you’re breaking the bank with them.

like

Ohh I see. Well either way $45/hr is far from unfair. And your freelance rate is supposed to be higher than your salaried rate. You have to stock up for the fact that you’re uninsured, without paid holidays, and also that your work could disappear for weeks/months.

like

Yeah that’s not cocky at all. Unless your work is trash, but I’m assuming it’s up to par.

Honestly I think at 55k annual, you should be at 50/hr minimum even in a mid-level market.

Do you qualify for overtime? That’s a game changer if you do.

No, I'm salaried/annual now and making 56k/year, which breaks down to a much lower hourly rate

Definitely ask for that.

Thanks all!

Crying for my RSUs….started at my company about 6 months ago and got some RSUs split over 3 years.

Stock price has been cut in half since then, along with my RSU value. 😭 how do I cope?
