Hi folks, I have a question about freelance fees. How much would you charge as a brand consultant for an app focused on e-sports? I would basically have to help them position their brand at LATAM, develop the whole conversion funnel, and make a plan for them for the whole year of 2021.

Curious: what are your personal criteria for referring someone for a job at your agency?
-anyone, so you can get the referral bonus?
-friends, because your friendship with them matters more longterm than your relationship with a job you don’t plan to stay at forever?
-only people who are truly incredibly talented because referring someone is an extension of your reputation?

I had a second round interview for an entry-level Investment Analyst position with OMG exactly 2 weeks ago.

Today I got a call from a woman with Primerica (financial services) saying she was given my info & that they were interested in me. We had a mini chat & we set up a longer one for tomorrow.

Do you think OMG gave my info out instead of a direct no? Is it a good sign she reached out to me so fast? Is she a headhunter or just a recruiter?

Sorry for the all the Qs, I'm just excited lmao

Is it normal to be able to get all my work done in ~15 hours a week? I’m in-house and don’t have many meetings, so when I’m focused and productive, it doesn’t take long to get everything done. Am I just efficient or do I not have enough on my plate? I’m doing the normal workload for my position and excelling at it, so it doesn’t quite feel fair to ask for more work just because I can do it quickly. Should I just be grateful or is this a red flag?
