    $25/hr is way too low for anyone outside of college. How much experience do you have, scarabin? If you have at least 3 years of professional experience, I think you can safely get away with charging $50/hr. And to be honest, if you're good you can easily charge $75 per hour. Especially if you've been working 5+ years. 7+ years, even higher ($85/hr or more). This is assuming you aren't in a major metropolis like New York with an obscene cost of living. If that's the case though, add at least $20 the the above figures.

    The above is *especially* applicable since there's an NDA involved. NDAs can create a hamper to your self-promotional ability, that is if the project never makes it off the ground. That happened to me once, and I have some nice work for a cool project that I can't show anyone. To my knowledge, the client's venture hasn't gone anywhere, and until that happens mum's the word.
