I’m going to do a small consulting project on the side for a small start up company. My current salary is $150k, so ~$83/hr. I think a $100/hr rate for this project is fair, but my spouse thinks it’s low. Also worth noting: it’s beyond my typical scope of knowledge since it’s a full marketing strategy vs just my current specialty. Thoughts?

Project rate. They get no surprises, you get to learn.

If it involves work that you don’t do at your current job and that you’re not an expert in, then your current salary isn’t necessarily what you would use to calculate your hourly freelance rate. For a marketing strategy, maybe a project rate is better, with a well defined scope.

Happy wife. Happy life. Or something like that.

If you are serious and want to build this as a business bill for deliverables not hours.

LA mid level AD salary range please?🙏 I have 4years experience.

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
