and higher. My freelance day rate in NYC as a new senior was $1000/day. Now I would def ask for more like 12-1500/day. Be ready to come down, sure, but always ask high.

Everyone pays differently. Each agency inChicago. Some $500/day some $800/day. It's important to know if they are putting you on payroll. $700/day paid to you is actually like $450/day if you are aging your own taxes

Depending on your current salary and benefits package, I'd suggest something in the $50 to $60 an hour range. Of course, there a lot of additional expenses you're going to have to cover yourself that are employer paid on full time gigs.

you guys are killing me 🤑. So anywhere between $500-$1500 a day for Sr. Interactive Producer. How about we narrow it down by market. Any Portland 🐠 want to chime in?

Just got a freelance gig for $1250 for 2 shoot days, but they’re asking for hourly rate for prep days. Not sure what rate to give them & if I should base it on a 10 or 12 hr hourly rate. It’s LA based & content/digital production. I’m not a fan of hourly rates, but I don’t want to lose the gig or end up agreeing to less days than I actually end up working..

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
