I am not particularly asking how much YOU specifically would be willing to pay an assistant given the events that you do, but rather what do you think is GOOD pay to make the job offer and compensation attractive to a person who is willing to be a DJ assistant, and work events with you on Saturday nights.
I am considering trying to find an assistant once again. I tried a few years ago multiple times, and could never find anyone good or reliable. I offered as much as $175 per night the last time I went looking around, and came up with nobody.
Is compensation in terms of an hourly wage better for people? Or is compensation on a per event/night basis the same each event better?
In 2021 and beyond what do you think it will take? Or honestly, should I continue to just forego having an assistant, work my butt off, keep all the money, not have to pay an assistant, and just continue to get things done myself?
