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.

“your weekly rate covers your salary for the full week. Our general work schedule at R/GA is Monday through Friday, however, all salaried freelancers are eligible for a discretionary bonus which factors in extraordinary time you bill to jobs outside of our general work schedule as well as your overall performance. This discretionary bonus would be paid out on a monthly basis and is not guaranteed.”
