Megacorporations: please stop asking illustrators to do advertising projects with editorial budgets. The rights, the buyouts, not crediting artists, the value extracted from the work, and the rounds of revisions do not compare.
You can only get away with this because some of us are new and don't know better. And my favorite thing is the promise of "exposure" but with no credit given 
There's a reason why advertising jobs for a large company pay at LEAST 20x more than a gig for the NYT
and yet, many of these mega rich corporations are offering us the same as the NYT. This is not okay.
for example, when someone gets a buyout of rights, you no longer even have rights to use the work in your portfolio, and the company can sell the work for all of eternity for free, vs the standard editorial agreement where after 3 months I can sell the work myself
This 6 year old article by @jessicahische is great but the world needs more like it. I would love to write something with a group of illustrators (and maybe you?) who want to share our collective knowledge, that adds to this topic https://www.fastcompany.com/3025992/how-much-should-you-charge-for-design-work-a-guide
Another good resource is https://litebox.info shared with me by @thelittleanimal 
Their rate finder may help illustrators who are starting out. @litebox_info have the right idea. I also still think more educational info needs to be shared. Share links if you have any!
