I've just been asked to go and work freelance for a great company in the northwest england and need to work out an hourly rate to charge can anyone help?
The problem I have is that the postion could led to a full time job, its sort of a trail period but am doing it freelance.
What should I charge?
Thanks moo

Alright Si, what company is it? Anyone famous?
Basically work out how much you want a year, then divide it by about 330 to work out how much you want to earn a day, then double it, that should give you a fair enough hourly rate as you may not work every day!
Good Luck! :)

I just asked my boss. He reckons that if you've recently graduated you should charge £15/hour freelance (but up to £25 if you want to be cheeky). Pop down to Bunker on the 2nd floor to see me!

Hey Dave
where's your mag available from? the usual Northern Quarter outlets?
I'm moving to Manc next week, so I'll hunt one down. Looking forward to getting back up there after 4.5yrs in the smoke...
