Always day rate
Haven’t done freelance work for a while but based on how I calculated this stuff back in the day I would likely fall somewhere within these ranges Day rate is 900 - 1250 Week rate is 4800 - 5500 Range depends on interest, funding, and how much I like folks.
I work solely on a weekly rate. While I could boil it down to a daily value, product and even brand work tends to shift in weekly sprints. For this reason, I left hourly and day rates behind years ago.
FWIW, given my focus on early-stage tech, I prefer structuring my fees half cash, half equity, where possible. $10k/week cash/equity split — often distributed throughout the week against 2/3 max projects. Hope this helps Ben 😊
Feel like people don’t wanna share it always but I’ll just say I start at 250€/hr
