I’m a freelance designer booked with an agency to work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. If the agency only gives me 5 hours of work to complete in one day, should I be charging them for 5 or the full 8?
Wishing I set up a day rate instead of hourly because that seems much clearer to me.

Are you on an hourly rate? If you’re booked to them FT, then bill FT, regardless of the amount of work they give you.

If you’re booked 5 days a week, 8 hours a day I would charge that time if you are expected to be available.

Exactly. If you are on call then you are working.

Thanks all, very helpful. The agreement was that they want me 8hrs per day at an hourly rate. So I will charge for 8hrs regardless of if the job takes me less some days.

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus. I was hoping for an offer closer to 90k base and I don’t care too much for a sign on bonus. However, this is a lot more than what I’m making now, and would be my first SWE job. Should I counter? If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers.

So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
