Didn’t get a dime less than $1,200/day for the past year, and was booked every day that I wanted to be.

Gonna start asking for $1,400 from now on.

Thinking of upping my rate

This is really helpful, I've been making 500-600 a day, I had no idea people were making double that. Also you freelancers go through any recruiters or direct to the agencies? Just need some help getting new clients that will pay me better. I was working 2 jobs to be making 1k a day. Thanks

Never through a staffing agency. Go direct

800 in Chicago - but I never self promote. Too busy with current gigs and parenting to update my website or network.

$1000-1200 as a senior CW

$1200-1400 as an ACD.

I’ve found that whatever “title” they’re hiring for doesn’t affect my rate. I’m the same me, whatever you want to call me. Then again I always bill 1200/day which is right in the middle of those 🤔

Took my first vacation (1 week) in over a year to visit family. Was bombarded by emails from one partner asking me to complete non-time sensitive motions, which he hasn’t even bothered to review. This is my third firm in three years (first I left as I was severely underpaid, second I left for a 100k increase in salary), but this lack of respect for my boundaries has made me want to move again once I’ve completed 18 mos. Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).

So, I really ****ed up today and don’t really know what to do. W/O getting into specifics, I tried to do something nice, which involved telling a lie, and then got sort-of caught, but then lied again to cover my ass, and it’s spiraled out of control and now I don’t know what to do. Obviously I need to come clean, but I just really, really f’ed up and am freaking out. Everything has been so freaking stressful lately that I’ve done things I never thought I would & don’t even know who I am anymore.
