I cannot believe there are people selling themselves so damn cheap. I have been doing the layout and mechanicals for this 80 page book for 3 years (40 hour job) worth $3,000.
My client called me Friday saying they found a local small shop that would do it for $1,700 and wanted me to match that. I was being fair at $3,000, so I said I am hear if they are not satisfied with the work. We are killing ourselves selling out so damn cheap. Lost a rebrand 3 weeks ago to some freelancer that said he would do it for $350. The company had been around for 7 years and was rebranding themselves and you charge $350? Whomever tries to bid work for this company in the future is screwed.

gtfo? Get the fuck out?
I am lost in the acronyms these days. Sorry for the rants. I am just really stressed with some medical stuff with my family. I can't vent to my wife and my best friend died last year so I am quickly learning I don't have many places to really let it out. This place has always been here for me in the past. A community of like minded people.

Hell yeah it's sad. I need the money to, but I just can't sell myself that low. It just doesn't feel right, but once I'm fighting to pay the mortgage I am sure this will feel different.

Oh man I hear you. I've gotten to the point to where I'm putting in apps for jobs I did in school. Kitchen and bullshit wage slave jobs. Fuck it. Do what you gotta do. Markets are flooded. Talked to a cat who ran a 3 man shop who is looking to drop one and a lady at a 14 man shop who is down to 4. As one man act, it's harsh laying yourself off. Which is essentially where I'm at. Good luck and fuck all the designer a go-go lowballwers messing up our livelihood.

When I freelanced I took an easy part-time job doing phone surveys for a teacher's union. Got us through the tight weeks. Ain't no shame in looking out for your family.
