Is it legal to pay overtime x0.5 instead of 1.5? Example, if my hourly rate is $20, when I work more than 40 hours I would make $10 the hour instead of $30.

Not sure if it’s legal but you shouldn’t tolerate that

That is illegal in the US. Overtime is 1.5 over 40 hours. The only way they might get away with it is if your a 1099 contractor and it’s a set timeframe.

But as a freelance employee, illegal

I'm feeling that your contract has a typo

No typo.

They could probably get around it if it's a day rate, and the hours are unspecified. Or, as a freelancer, you sign a contract for a specified hourly rate, period. It looks like the law is intended for hourly rate employees, or salaried employees making below the threshold ($47,400ish). Then you go to time and a half. But a freelance contract that specifies a 40 hour work week seems like it would apply. And even if this is technically somehow legal, I would still refuse to sign it, as it's straight-up bullshit. If hour 40 is worth $100, I fail to see how hour 41 is worth less than that.

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
