This is a little off-topic, but I've been sifting through director treatments for over a week now. I'm seeing a trend. The treatments are HUGE. Like, 50 slides or more. A humble request from the receiving end of director treatments--less is WAY more. Hire a copywriter or a creative team that's good at getting the vision and distilling it quickly. Clever is nice until it beats you over the head for 62 slides.

That is a great idea.

this treatment will be 12 pages max lol. any idea about a day rate?

$750/day generally for treatment writer!

It depends on the hours of work. I’d say at least 3 days if they’re worth your money. I’d budget $1k a day at least. I’ll do it for you, I’ve done dozens.

I know in Toronto it’s $750 a treatment. Not helpful for LA, but as a point of reference for somewhere else.

I haven’t paid for writing. Most of the directors I work with write themselves. However I do work with freelance treatment designers. That’s usually $600 a day and a treatment we do (10 to 15 page max. Sometimes less) is a couple days. Just for reference in case you need images / design also. So $1200.

In 2008 I charged $200 a day.

Hi 👋🏾 I started a job in Jan of 2022 as a proj. coord. (2yrs exp) for a small-mid sized company ~200 ppl. I have received much recognition from the directors and higher executives. 3 months after being hired I was asked to become SCRUM master (for which I am certified) Unfortunately there has been a series of management changes and at my 6 month evaluation my salary was adjusted from 65 to 67k. Am I wrong to expect more? I’m unsure what a typical promotional jump is but 67k for SCRUM master?

A person was facing a toxic and tireless work culture. Out of desperation, he switched to a different organisation just offering the same salary.
