What's your rate Rob? Normally I wouldn't ask, but you have certainly raised the question with a statement like that. And, pardon my opinion, but it definitely comes off to me as a brag. How many hours a week do you work? How long have you been working? I'm under 30 and I think what I charge is very reasonable. Intentionally. I'm more busy than I can handle and often put in 90-100 hour weeks. That means 50+ hours a week of that is at 1.5x overtime. Instead of trying to make people feel bad about their rate, how about actually contributing to the discussion? From your website it seems you certainly have good credentials, but I don't know if I had your reel I'd be charging a lot more. You could maybe use some updated music for it, at any rate...

Wow. Either my rates are too high or you guys aren't billing enough. Probably somewhere in between.
