    it's more like $35-100/hr.
    it really depends on your skill and type of agency you work but i don't know many designers who can charge $100/hr consistently. probably the only way you can get 100-150 would be for super urgent high stress rush projects.

    where i work, we hire people we worked with in the past at other agencies. and it's a small industry so if you are good, everyone knows.

    that said, if you don't know anyone here and haven't worked at any well known agency, it maybe hard to charge a lot of money right away. you need build your reputation first before asking a lot of money. also you get a good idea how your skill would match against people here in nyc. there are some amazing talents here.
