I’ve heard that contracting as a designer at Google isn’t a fabulous experience (they get treated as sub-par workforce). When it comes to rates, it depends on seniority level but I’ve seen anything from $80-$120/hr

(Keep in mind that freelance rate negotiation and hiring @google happens thru third party agencies)

I do freelance for Google through a third party agency and really like it, fwiw.

It really depends on what part of the business and what team you're on. I freelanced at Google and really loved it.

On rates, I know a senior designer who came on at $150/hr.

It doesn't help that he always presents outdated ideas and throws UX out the window. I know that I know my stuff and keep up with best practices. I have 4+ years experience but am treated as entry level.
