Question about going solo after years under a shop boss

I still get nervous telling clients my rates without a manager's backing.

Tbh my friend overcharged her first solo client, and they just paid without a word.

Why not trust your own judgment on rates?

Actually, I get what Tara's saying, but trust needs a starting point. When you're new, you have zero experience to base that judgment on. It's easy to second-guess if your price is fair or way off. That confidence to set rates comes much later, after you've seen how your work lands with a few clients.
