I’m a copywriter with 3 years experience looking to start freelancing in London. What day rate do you think I should ask for?

Maybe £200-£225 per day? It probably also heavily depends on what kind of work you've been putting out in the past 3 years :) Major Players do a yearly salary survey and this is what they have down for copywriters

No worries, you can always try and meet with some recruiters and see what day rate they recommend. Usually the smaller agencies are more careful/stingy with the freelance rates while the big ones are a bit more flexible. It also might be worth setting up a YunoJuno profile 👍

I book people and I’d say 300 is about right. Sign up with more recruiters than you think you need though. We producers don’t mean to be lazy but when we have to make a booking, it’s usually a last second frenzied action so we tend to use a go-to recruiter ana every agency will have a different one

I cleared the Interview for SDET in Oracle today in the Manager discussion, He asked about the Expectations and I told 25 lpa, He said we cant pay that much as Your current is 14.7.
I said I can be flexible and minimum i can go for is 22 Lpa as i have another offer of 25 but considering oracle brand value i am ready to go settle but he said I can't offer you this much and left the zoom call. So How much oracle is offering for SDET of 8 Years of Experience?
