What’s the highest day rate you’ve heard of an editor charging? I just found out what somebody is charging and it made my jaw drop.

What was the rate? To put it in context, rack rate at the boutique I used to work at was 4400/day for editor and room.

Freelance or staff? What was the amount you heard ?

Curious about either...but was asking about freelance. I heard of someone charging $2500/day recently. I’ve never even heard of a freelance editing rate approach that much (at least not in recent years...maybe a decade or so ago).

What is the salary of consultant in Capgemini

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.
