He should re-brand as a “consultant” and charge double that.

I made $750-$1000/day as a camera operator working 8hr days in my mid 20’s. Yeah I didn’t work every day but $500 a day is honestly not that much for what that guy does. After taxes he’s making like 75k a year at best.

500 a day is $62.50/hr, that’s not very good for contracting, especially if they don’t take taxes and healthcare out. Any sort of key contractor like that ought to be worth at least $250/hr

Seriously, that’s really low rates. Healthcare and all that overhead is usually at least double of the actual salary.

They’re in the UK. They don’t have our stupid healthcare system.

I charge $90(CDN), pay myself around $40. Solo contractor with occasional support staff.
Need to up my rate, it’s a bit low for what I do, even though I’m no genius or expert specialist.
