What steps do I have to take?
How much should I ask per day?
Please help, because is the first time I go freelance and... coming from a foreign country I am very scared about taxes etc...
Thanks!

1. What rate are they offering you? They are offering you the job so they will let you know how much they are willing to pay if you just ask;
2. Do they want to employ you as a PAYE employee, or do they want to use you as a freelancer?
Get these couple of points cleared up and then let us know and we can help you further.

Job titles these days do make me laugh, especially when they have fancy words like Director in them but only pay £15k per year... - Contact in PM

About being a "Junior Art Director"
In Spain, in advertising, a Copywriter and an Art Director make a Creative team.
If you don't have four years of experience you can't be called Art Director. You will be a Junior Art Director...that's all. I cannot be named Middleweight Designer because... I am not a Designer.
