What would be a normal hourly rate for a freelance Account Director in nyc? I’ve only ever been FT so not sure how to navigate a good offer for working freelance. Made $135k at my FT job previously. I’m thinking $75-100/hr? Or maybe a day rate? Help!

I don’t know from account directors but in general w freelance, you want the numbers much higher than what you made on salary to account for your higher taxes, lack of health coverage, and inevitable down periods.

Ya I would say ask for 1350/day or 135/hr as a starting negotiation point

And don't accept less than 100/hr

How many years' exp are you? Agencies like to do day or weekly rates for Account Director in my exp, not hourly. Also sometimes projects have hard budgets, have you asked them what the budget is? if they have no budget, then I guess you can offer a range...

Super helpful, thank you!

Advice needed on handing in notice, I recently signed an offer letter and understand the screening process takes 4-6 weeks. I have a month's notice period and have agreed a preliminary start date in Feb.

I was planning on not handing my notice in until the checks had been completed so its all secured (not that I think I will fail any checks), but apparently I need a reference from my current employer not previous ones. Can't really do this without handing in notice can I?
