Hourly rates and salaries

Here's more in the ongoing conversation about hourly rates.

HOW Magazine's April 2008 issue featured a Business column on hourly rates for designers. The information was gathered by an online survey conducted in October 2007 that drew 996 responses. Click here to find out what they learned.

The page also links to lots of resources, including a white paper we gave away at our recent "What Should You Charge?" Webinar.

And for those of you who work for companies, where the topic of "how to talk about pricing" translates into "how to talk about salary," check out Marci Alboher's post from Friday, February 22 on the NY Times blog, Shifting Careers: Smart Thinking at Work (I love that tagline).

I'd like to share something I was told a LONG time ago that I've since learned is the truth.

The more you charge, the more people believe you are worth . . .

Take care.
