alot of companies have you start at freelance to fulltime. What i am saying is, make sure you are asking for what you would get when working fulltime with benefits because they wont give you more when that time comes.
for someone only with a year under the belt I think that 32/hr is enough. It is not ideal, but i wouldn't shoot it down.
If you are in a city I think it will be hard for you to find that 40/hr you are looking for with that experience and to be able to be creative...
here is what i would do-
-lookout for those 40+/hr from those big boring companies. (you will prolly make postcards and ad resizes)-take the 25-35/hr jobs to build up experience and your portfolio
(the more creative you can get usually means the less they pay... until you get more experience.- i think i mentioned i do motion graphic design specifically, which has higher salaries than print/web from what i've seen, so ixnay on the ostcard-pay esign-dayimstupeid
- ixnay on the ostcard-pay esign-day. but are you suggesting i try and find remote freelance work for my portfolio? i just haven't seen much offiste freelance motion work.imstupeid
