Work with strapped newbie employers to see what they can offer you in exchange for your labor – since they’re not offering you entrée to the contacts, relationships and respected credits that would otherwise make a lower rate worth it.
ONE LAST WORD. As you work more steadily in this industry, your “rate” transforms into your “quote.” Your “”quote” is what you were paid on your most recent gig(s), and it’s the magic number everyone expects to pay you on your next gig. So once you begin working more steadily, you must be very protective of your quote, regardless of the additional benefits a certain gig would offer. Be particularly wary of being asked to accept a lower rate in exchange for a higher credit because that sets a ridiculously low quote for your new credit level. Sounds pretty sticky and uncomfortable? That’s why people have agents.
