Um hi, the recruiters I’ve been talking to think my day rate is too high for a mid level AD. But also they have been recruiters at staffing agencies so I kinda don’t trust their judgement. I know this is repeatedly asked on here but what is normal for freelance hourly rate, mid level AD in NY?

For what it’s worth I had a recruiter literally laugh at my rate and it’s the rate I am able to get 95% of the time on my own.

It’s not too high. It’s too high for THEM. You’re cutting into their share. Avoid recruiters if you can. Go straight to the agency and I suspect you’ll get your rate

What’s your day rate?
Also, it’s tough to say strictly by title. The quality of your portfolio and work history means more. A mid-level AD who spent two years at WK then two years at Droga will most definitely be able to charge more than a mid-level AD who’s only worked on local brands at no-name tier three shops.

Colleague has put in his resignation. They are offering him whatever he wants to stay including 4days a week work from home. He’s not bluffing and plans to leave. However, at this same time I was asked to begin working as a supervisor for the engineering team and I would get a promotion at the beginning of the year. I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.
