How much do you expect to be booked? And how much do you need if you have to cover your own benefits? Divide those two numbers and you’ll get your hourly rate.

Don’t underestimate the amount of administrative time that goes “unbooked” but is required to be a successful freelancer. For every hour of actual work, it often takes 30 to 45 minutes of administration to cover…

This is the best advice for pricing, personally - it'll help you come up with a baseline figure

$800

What's your hourly rate? Just take that and multiply it by however many hours you plan on putting in (plus a little buffer on top).

I would go for an hourly rate. Otherwise you may work 12 hours as a "day". That is just my opinion though.

I lateraled from a small firm to regional big law last year. I was told that my offer was commensurate with class year (5th year). The firm recently increased first year salary, with a 5% increase for all other attorneys. My original salary was equal to the new first year salary. The difference between my new salary and a first year is now $10k. I think it is fairly obvious that the hiring partner was not truthful with me. How would you address this? Is another lateral move my only option?
