my rates vary depending on the client. im able to keep constantly busy and put in about 40+ hours for different firms.
i can charge 35-70 depending on the client and the work. averaged out in the end i could make somewhere inbetween those two numbers for 40 hours or more a week.
i always say, rates vary depending on type of work. when you want to stay busy, its stupid to price yourself out of a job if youre not doing anything else. staying busy is the key. even if you end up working for 30 bucks an hour 40 hours a week or more, thats more than you'd ever get with 1-2 years experience in LA. unless you were a design god, you'd be considered a JR making 40k or less. 30 bucks an hour is like 57-58k.
like, if you get in with creative circle or something, its better to tell them a range you'd accept working for. that way you dont miss out.
the whole point of all that is, for your experience dont be too proud to take 30 bucks an hour unless you have the portfolio to make you worth more. otherwise people will look at you funny and say thanks but no thanks and you might get 1 job a month.
