If an agency gives you option between FL and FT, gives you the FL day rate, is it reasonable to ask for about 1/2 the amount salaried?

The calculation I've found most accurate / fair / helpful is:
Full time salary + 30% then divided by 220.
The 30% is to cover taxes, insurance, equipment, retirement, etc. The 220 is the number of days you can reasonably expect to work.
So working backwards, a day rate of 1100 would equate to around 186,000 per year full time.
You can also just ask them what the salary band is for the full time role. They may try to be vague or hide it but it's worth a shot.

Easier and more realistic formula:
Fulltime annual ÷ 125 = Freelance day rate.
(Or, Freelance day rate × 125 = Fulltime annual.)

So if you get $1100 as a freelancer, ask for around $137K fulltime.

For reference the day rate is about 1100

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
