Is it full time? Is it long term? It's ok to go a little below your freelance rate if it is, as it usually secures you more continuous work than freelance.
If you have already a gig going, I assume it is part time. The fact that you have something else is a strong point in your negotiations, meaning (unspokenly) "if someone's paying that, he's probably worth it"Will you be able to renegotiate in some time? It's usually hard after you agreed on something. You can always temporarily discount the rate, rather than lower it, i.e for the first month or so, as a starting incentive towards a new client or something.. but you'll feel better if you negotiate pay that you feel good with from the beginning.
