Recruiters, can you please give us freelancers the avg range for jr, mid level, and sr level day rates in your city?
My made-up example:
New York
Jr $500-700
Mid $700-$900
Sr $900-$1500

Thank you.

Your sample is spot on but I’d lower your lowest and raise your highest for the small percentile of top and low tier people. I work for a big, good agency and we rarely pay over $1800. Juniors right out of school we’ll do about $300 a day but not for too long before deciding if we’ll hire them.

Talent level and body of work plays into how much you can command on your dayrate. Be honest with yourself on your worth.. understand there are a lot of genuinely high level, accomplished freelancers out there with amazing books.

Similar rates for SF but also agree with TR1. Rate/budget depends on the role you are filling.

Not necessarily if you're not being asked to do Sr copywriter things.

Partners, please looking for some advice. I work for a boutique firm and worked really hard the past year with a lot more responsibilities and an under staffed team (hiring freeze because of covid).

However, my direct reports did not get any bonus. It has really tainted my view on the firm because...cont.
