What’s a good mid-level hourly rate? Doing a paid brand test to work for a marketing agency remote (contract). They said they will pay me 4 hours “at my rate”. In the past, I’ve charged $45. Is that a good rate?

I’ll be designing a 1000x1000 pix graphic for an Amazon product listing. Thanks!

Not sure where you’re located, but I’d say that is far below market rate in most places in the US. My first full time job out of college in 2017 was 60k. I think you should be at least 75k

Seriously in this economy stop low-balling yourself.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

(3) Any idea till when WFH will last? Thanks 🙏

It seems like everyone is in agreement that switching firms gives you a salary boost, but that you could be viewed as someone that doesn’t stick around. Has anyone felt like they got held back from jumping firms every 2-3 years for the salary bump? I know peers that bounced around 2-4 times in a 7 year span and they are making significantly more money than if they stayed at their first job, however it didn’t seem like any of the new companies cared that they bounced around. Other experiences?
