your only worth what you can get. Someone might give you $65/hour for your skill, someone else $13/hour. It’s up to you on what your willing to sell yourself for.
Another thing to keep in mind is, When companies want to hire a freelancer as staff it’s because they want to save money, not spend more. With a staff position, they usually offer health benifits, vacation, sick days, and a steady paycheck in exchange for a lower hourly rate. where a freelance rate may be higher but the hours may be not be steady and no benifits at all.
Good Luck
