Work is scarce but when I have worked, same rate. For the record I might take a little less than normal right now but no jobs that have come though have asked me to lower it.

Same rate! Go get paid!

Thanks !

If everyone still asks for their usual rate, the competition will grow but we’ll maintain our compensation floor. Unfortunately, Micro Econ 203 tells me it doesn’t work out that way. Take what you can get. Make friends, network, that’s the investment that will make. The small jobs and pay will be worth it.

What’s typical hourly freelance rate for NYC?
