Thinking of taking on freelance account service work for a friend who owns a small but so far quite successful production agency. They mainly do work for luxury fashion brands and live music/event campaign video/photography. What would a fair rate for someone at the Account Director level to charge for an hourly and/or day rate for account support?

Be careful about setting up agreements in place up front when freelancing, and especially when working with a friend.
Would you be agreeing on a contracted number of hours for a set scope up front? Or tracking time and charging for hours worked?

Both good questions! I’m thinking hourly support for things like contract writing which would be billed t&m and rev share for new business (thinking 5% for initial business and 2% past a certain benchmark like $100k for example).

Currently working in-house for a large bio pharma - like the company and most of the people, but the work is really getting monotonous and I just leaned through the grapevine that I am making significantly less money ($15k to $30k) than others in the same level/grade as me. The work I do is equally difficult and I have a smaller team because people have left, so there is no way “type” of law justifies this. I think I just did a poor job negotiating my salary and raise. Any tips on what I can do?
