If you mean as an independent. Probably somewhere between $75-$100 hour. But keep in mind contractors don't necessarily have the same job security. They have to pay their own employee taxes and fund their own insurance. And in between gigs find the next one, marketing etc.

I was going to suggest if she becomes a contractor, to go for a large consulting company which would still have some aspect of security.

$100k-$130k

Side note, we talked compensation and start date already.

When I came into advertising they said “there are no egos”. I’m starting to think that’s a lie. We tend to only put value on people at big agencies executing big ideas. Most of my CDs (at previous jobs) are known for not doing what they say or flat out ignoring me. I’m happy where I am now, I feel really lucky, but I’m not at W+K or Droga5 and I just feel like I’m not cool enough to talk to my friends who are doing awesome work. Am I alone on this? I know it can’t just be me.
