I was just offered a CUNY role. The title is Higher Education Assistant. According to Glassdoor, the average annual pay for that role is $83,418. However, I was offered $62,500. I requested for the minimum annual salary to be 75k. Does anyone have experience navigating the CUNY system and their pay?

I have an offer from Capco, it was much lower then I expected for the SC level EA at £80k. I'm at a stable role at a bank with a great WLB. My wife is a front line work. So I can take care of the baby, with the next coming soon. My dilemma is, become a consultant or stay where I am at. Consulting looks attractive as I would be speed up my career progression. Though the travel costs and child care does not warrant the base salary Capco Should I take the hit and join capco?

That seems low. I wouldn’t take less than $60/hr if I were you.
Agree, $40 is low. Depending on the location and the company, I would aim for $60-100 hourly.
Also, consider if you’re under a 1099 or a W2. 1099 means you’re paying a lot more in taxes, so your hourly rate should be higher as well.
It's v low but it's a job in the time of Rona. Take it.
I would go higher. That sounds more junior level contracting rate, especially if you have big agency experience. I have about the same YoE as you and I would ask $100+ because of 1099
Btw my general rule of thumb is to find my 1099 hourly rate by taking my annual salary and dividing by 1000. Not always palatable for clients but depends on leverage i guess
A project rate instead?
Very low. I'm currently the same (5 years) and I've been asking $70/hr.
Thank you for the feedback. An update… my rate jumped to $75! And the freelancing engagement went super well!
Thanks all. Haven’t freelanced in a while but upped my rate way over 40. Thank you for the feedback! Really appreciate it, don’t want to undersell myself.
