People are saying $2k, but I haven’t been able to charge more than $1,500/day. And most of the time when I throw that number out, agencies come back saying they can only pay $1,00-$1,250.

So if you can get $2k, great. But don’t be surprised if most places come in pretty well under that.

Thanks for all the quick answers! I was thinking $1600 after talking with my recruiter friend and working from there.

What about hourly for you all?

It’ll change depending on the job. Smaller place and fun brief or longer commitment you can go down to 1600. Pitch for a big place go to 2000. But that’s the range I would say.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
