That’s become the norm around here, and why most of my clients are on the other side of the bridge. Although, i’m seeing more and more listings out of Boston doing the same (companies I know to skip).

That comes with a higher rate. It’s why I charge per project or per word, not per hour.

I think you’ve hit on a great way to vet potential clients — review their job listings. If they’re paying low wages historically, a freelancer isn’t about to get a fair rate out of them.

I agree with you — wanting one person to perform multiple job functions is a cheap-assed way to run a business. So basically, they want one person to perform the job duties of four people, yet won’t pay decently even if it were just one job they were doing.
