This information is so helpful for those of us just starting out (even though Blackcat warned us not to
). Thank you all for sharing!
A couple of questions:
Could someone point me to, or explain to me, Nan's approach to rates?
I was thinking of going with hourly rates for contracted times. Like, I figure my full time 5 days a week rate based on an hourly rate, but I figure my full time three days a week based on a slightly higher hourly rate (this is a simplified explanation, but hopefully it makes sense...basically, full time contracts get a break on the hourly rate compared to fewer days or part time). I would be using the contracted hours and hourly rates to figure out weekly rates. Since you all have been doing this longer than me, are there any negatives to this kind of approach?
