I work as an independent consultant that gets compensated per hour for reviewing work. I’ve been asked to get on a Zoom so we can go through my review - is this something that I can bill them for as I am allocating my time to it?

Yes any time that is requested and not an introduction / pitch is billable. My wife is an independent and only works on a day rate (10 hours) basis. It’s either on or off. Beyond ten hours is pro-rata, with a 50% overtime premium beyond 9pm or at weekends.

Wow. That seems like a pretty nice setup for your wife and good approach. With a minimum per day to save her from doing small increments.

The 10 hr per day chunk seems pretty big though vs 8hrs or even 4 hr increments. Has she gotten pushback for that?

I assume her clients are large corporations so likely wouldn't bat at it.

On a personal level working with an attorney, I was a bit taken back but it made sense in a way that if I emailed them they would bill in minimum increments. So if I sent a simple FYI email to them it would be 15mins which at their rate is $100... So I end up not sending. It's not worth their time to do admin work for my 5 min question/answer. And I can't afford that much and group all my simple things together to justify the minimum.

So seems like similar logic for your wife. But the increment is so big - bigger than a "normal" 8hr day.

Can either of you give a ballpark for hourly rate? And general level of experience? I’m considering going independent.

Mine is $85 and have a couple of years experience

Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
