Need advice on strategy freelancing. Never done this before and am being asked for an hourly rate. I’ve found some calculators but any thoughts on what’s normal for NYC? What else should I know/ask?

Make sure you have a Daily Rate. Fuck that hourly nonsense. For example I was at $350/day rate after 2 years in the business - you do the math 👍 This is LA so don’t know about NYC.

Need help deciding if this offer is worth moving for. Received an offer from Booz Allen Hamilton for an Associate level Sr. Systems Engineer in Los Angeles for $135k base. I countered $150k and a $15k singing bonus and asked if I could be brought on as a lead associate since I've been a lead/manager for a while in my current company.

Current company TC: $125k in Utah.
YOE: 7 with M.S. and MBA

Is the switching cost/risk and higher COL worth it?

Junior associate here, should I ask for more money if my firm is about 10-15 percent less hours but about 30 percent less pay?

It is in appropriate to ask what the compensation for a position is after a first interview if they want you to go on three more and the interviewers on my first told me that was above their pay grade to tell me?????

Seems kind of ridiculous for a business to want to waste so much time to find out after a handful of interviews that the pay isnt aligned with my needs ......

I can see in biglaw not bringing up knowing damn well if you get an offer itll likely be high, but this is a midsize
