FAQ

What is the minimum hourly rate a senior Trust Safety PM can command on a boutique platform? A senior PM should command at least $150 /hr; lower rates indicate insufficient depth, as seen in the Upwork‑sourced candidate who was rejected 4‑2 at the Google HC.

Do I need to include equity in my freelance contract to be competitive? Only if you attach a concrete KPI; the Google Cloud HC approved 0.05 % equity because the KPI protected $1.2 B revenue, whereas the TikTok contract with equity but no KPI was denied.

How many concrete impact metrics should I showcase in my portfolio? Show at least three quantitative outcomes (e.g., violation‑rate ↓ 15 %); the Amazon HC required a month‑by‑month ledger and hired the candidate who delivered it 5‑0.amazon.com/dp/B0GWWJQ2S3).
