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).

HELP! When using other offers to negotiate salary, does the employer usually ask for proof of your other offers that you mentioned? I’m super new to this so I’m just curious.

Also, if they do ask to show proof, is that a red flag? Or is that pretty common? If so, I imagine I’d just block out the company name and stuff like that?

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.
