What should my freelance SCW / ACD day rate and hourly rate be in NYC? I have 7.5 years experience, a solid book, some awards (no Lion) and a good resume. I was thinking 1200 day, 125 hour + OT.

Probably want to ask for more on your hourly

I am a senior writer with a decent book and fewer awards. I’ve been asking 120/hr or 1000 a day. So your price seems fair. Make sure you have a different rate for ACD gigs.

Yeah that’s what I asked for at that level. Never had to take less.

Except I did 150/hour OT is 225

It’s a year later and I just started trying to get a little more, just booked 1300/day. So maybe after a while you could start to push up a bit

How many hours are there considered in a day if you work a day?

8-10, depends on the person

I do 8

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment.
