Regardless of the type of work you do, there’s no right or wrong way to arrive at a billable rate, as long as you land somewhere that doesn’t undervalue your skills. But even in cases with a fixed budget and no wiggle room to negotiate, you always have the choice to simply turn down an unfair rate.
