I recently switched to freelance and I’m not sure what my rate should be expecting. Is $80/hr for someone with 10 years of pharma and copy experience industry standard?

Go for $100 (90-100)/hour. Start high, either enough wiggle room. Also, can you annotate? That’s a big plus.

Ask for $100. I wouldn’t take anything lower than $90 an hour unless you really needed it. $80 should be you absolute floor. All that on w2. If you are on 1099 charge 20% more to cover self employment tax.
