CD2 Taking advantage of a freelancer's day rate is why I wouldn't work for you.
I consider a day 8 hours. After 10, I charge a day and a half.
I just answered this on a different thread.
Via email: “Ok, so just to confirm, I’ll be there starting next Monday at 9:30am, at a rate of $XXX per day (8-10 hours included). Please know I’m happy to do overtime as necessary with advance notice. Looking forward to it — see you then."
Ask for $100
That seems like a decent rate. I always ask a little higher than I want. You never know unless you ask for it. And it's easy to lower your rate but impossible to increase it if you start to low.
Also, As a freelancer I highly recommend an hourly rate to guard again working long days. I've really been burned on day rates.
If you have to use a day rate be sure to stipulate a max hours per day.
A mid level ad should be getting 800 day rate. If you are asking for 600 which is 75/hr you are working cheap.
CD1 stipulating max hours on a day rate is why I wouldn't hire you.
Re: day rate vs. hourly
If a job insists on a day rate they probably plan to work you over 8hrs a day so your effective hourly rate goes down.
IMO, an hourly rate is the most fair practice for each party BC youre being paid for all the hours you work.
But to be clear, hourly is better.
Typical day is 8 hrs in length. As a freelancer it’s often more ideal to go with a day rate, as you can charge by either a full or half day worked, and can earn a little more as a result
2 years experience, starting to freelance. Is asking $700 day too much? (Didn't want to open new tread)
* I was told $700 would be ok. But I wanna double check.
AAD — $700 👌🏻
How does one become an ACD after 2 years experience? 🤔
AAD not ACD. AAD=junior. I wish it was acd tho.
