That’s an awful formula.
Well, CW isn’t director level like AD is
1000 dollars
Ok well I guess you’re right I’ll go be sad now
@ACD, really? That high? I thought it was more in the 800 range but correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks!
Mid level? 700. Simple formula: )your years experience x 100)+ 100
SAD 1 I like your formula. I know CDs, executive Producers and even “director” level people running teams the have barely any experience so titles have lost all significance for me at least. Using your formula many people’s rates would be ridiculous based on experience (not title) so that can be a sore topic. Lately I see many seasoned creatives having a harder time getting their proper day rates and negotiate a bit less.
How many years exp? I'm at 6, I ask for 1k but usually get 800.
I have three years of experience and get 600. Your formula would give me 400, which is ridiculously low for a mid level writer. Maybe it makes more sense after more years pass
@Copywriter 1. 3 years experience at 400 per day is like 104k. Maybe it’s low but “ridiculous”? It’s a range. If you can get more do it. Freelance is decent right now as confidence is low on hiring longer term. Sure the formula could be tweaked a bit on both ends and yes it does make more sense later. Wait until your 15 years in. It’s a lot harder to get a 3k a day rate.
It’s not really 104k after freelance taxes and health insurance come out of it. Especially in New York, it really would be ridiculous.
Well it’s more New York is ridiculous but I do hear you. It’s just 104k isn’t as bad as other people I’ve seen and 3 years isn’t a ton of time. You can get more now so be happy. A range of 100-160 doesn’t sound crazy to me 3 years in
