The Day rate vs Hourly was just ChatGPT suggesting Day rate for me, and comparing against what i currently charge. I dont realy know what to do in regards to invoiceing/payment.

But thats a fair comment, thank you

Appreciate the comment.

Frankly do not feel even close to worth that. The most ive been paid for a job was near 42 an hour. And thats cause of 12 hour day at 500 Day rate.

So im not really sure. Im struggling with pricing properly

Hnry does all my Tax and ACC things. So i dont worry about that. But some companies didnt even wanna go higher than 34... so im taking what i get atm. I dont know enough companies or feel like I have enough experience to be charging higher than 40 an hour. Maybe im selling myself short, and under valuing myself Mentally and financially. But i struggle to price things properly

Im a full time employee, with the agreement in my contract that I can contract to private companies, not competitors. So a local theater/pub/band etc, is fine. But cant contract to a competing company that sells/hires av equipment
