I made 6 cpl a couple of years ago when I was a brand spanking new MT. 6 cpl for straight typing and 2 cpl for VR editing. They were the only company who would hire me so I sucked it up and dealt with it. I have 2 jobs now, both at 8 3/4 cpl. I can do about 200 lph or more, so it works for me and my budget needs. For your experience, I would think a company would offer you at least that if not closer to 9.5. I have heard of some people making 10, but not often.
