I am also given the week after Xmas off. if my toddlers are sick I can work at home with them. Interviewing w fortune 500 that offers 15 pto days that have to use for sick days too.Strictly in office job 9-5 and dress bus.prof. These bad benefits? Outdated culture?I am a seasoned professional. Seems tough.

New year. New rates. I’d like to increase my hourly rate of $100/hour. I’m freelancing with the same company in early 2022….how much is a healthy increase in that rate without it being too much? I feel like I’m bringing more to the table in this new project and want the rate to reflect that in the new contract.

You are in the business of selling time and ideas. If you give those away, you are not doing business. And you are helping to commoditize your profession. Does an architect give away plans for a building? Does your dry cleaner give away spec dry cleaning? Enough said. ;)
Spec work is ridiculous. If a client is serious, theyll recognize your capabilities in your portfolio, and will be willing to pay for you to put a plan immediately into action. Ive never seen spec work turn into paid continued work.
