Personally, for me to give up what I have as a freelancer--it would have to be a tasty offer.
It would have to pay more than I earn now as a freelancer. It would have to be a better opportunity all round.

My figure. I would need to see +90k before I would even read a job advert.

Is that figure attainable inhouse?? ADULT INHOUSE I mean.
To make $7500 a month, based on your prices, you would need to do 17 paysite tours a month, a little more than 4 a week. Most design companies do that amount of tours PER YEAR if they're lucky. Personally, I think there might be one or two in-house designers that make that figure per month. Maybe. But common sense tells you that most companies would rather pay $7500 per month to Dickmans or Wyldesites and get like 3 top notch tours while avoiding the hassle and extra costs.

In short, you aren't being any close to reality. I bet any designer here would be really happy with half of what you ask per month. Hell, let's go further and I bet 90% of designers here would be happy with 1 quarter of what you want to just "read a job advert". The numbers you mention are only attainable for companies with several designers of individual designers that may charge $3000 a tour, not $450

Not knocking on your job or anything, but you gotta admit neither you, neither me, neither anyone that posted here is anywhere close to Dickmans, so asking for even more than them "just to read a job advert"... Sheena puhleez
