In all seriousness, hiatus, I know what you are saying. Doing this work was not my background at all, so I had no peers either, and no point of reference for my 'worth.' I taught myself and found someone dumb enough to hire me for cheap. Eventually, was exploited. My jaw still aches.
Anyway, meeting my wife was a help, as she had 10 years experience in account management and knew exactly what quality creative services are worth.
Point is, try and find some objective folks who work on the finanacial end, but not form the perspective of nickel and diming people. Big agency account people are good for this, they know the rates quite well for the different levels of quality and their market value. Good luck!
- I underpriced myself at my first "good" job too. You can never make that money up again.flashbender
