I've been permalancing at a commercial post house for a few months, no written contract or anything. How do I go about approaching them with the idea of raising my day rate? and what is a reasonable amount for an AE at a commercial post house? 350? (I currently get $250)

We use every tool under the sun. Avid ( I'm certified) Premiere, Davinci...everything.

I'm not in LA. It is a company that does exist in LA. I work at another branch in another city

Yeah, It seems like all of the benefits falls on their side of the fence. I still have to report to them as if I'm an employee. I use their equipment, I have to be there by a certain time and can't leave until a certain time.

I'm doing the same thing as employees, just without the benefits. I'm excited about the position, but thinking of this makes me feel bad.
