That seems very high. I’ve been interviewing for AD roles and most balk at paying more than 140k. But freelance (1099) comes with extra expenses so maybe $85-90 an hour is good...

Thank you! Re: salary- Keep in mind I have been in the role for 3 years. When I started as an AD I was getting paid $115.

Op - you’re averaging an 18k per year bump over those 3 years? Why leave - that is far beyond the norm.

Hasn’t been all at one place. The significant bump was when I changed agencies.

Account people freelance? Like take people out to dinner and stuff?

I've seen people say that if you're underpaid, you can't just outline your contributions because your manager needs a compelling reason for finance to bump your salary and they need to prove you're underpaid.
