Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

Depends on how many freelance positions you’ve had, and quality of your book. Starting out first job I’d say about $350 per day
^^ Yep.
Long answer:
It depends on the type of work, the client, your availability, the length of the contract, etc.
One way to go about it is to set a "GFYS rate" (the "ideal" amount you think your time is worth for a project you don't mind losing) and a "friend rate." Those are your bookends. Then you set a rate between the two situationally.
At the end of the day, it's a business; your time, experience and talent (and, to an extent, confidence) are your product. Ask for what you honestly think you're worth. Worst case they say no and you learn for next time.
