Looking at FT editing positions in LA (or remote) and rates seems extremely low. From $18/hr! But usually between $36/hr and topping out at $100k, but those seem rare. Most high end rates seem like $75k. What's the deal? Have FT rates dropped? And very few Sr. Video Editor positions.

I suspect those $18/hr jobs are like YouTube unboxing videos. People who don’t have a lot of experiencing in post tend to think editing is just putting shots together.

Recently approached for $50-55k/yr for a make up brand. When I gave a counter they ghosted me.

I find it wild that a commercial brand is paying that much less than the non-profit (and remote) full time editor gig we’re hiring for now.
