20’s / 30’s : Career felt like I was on a runway path with clear destination, or at least options.
40’s : Feel more as if I’m walking the plank and the water below is getting dangerously close.

My exact experience. At 35, I felt like I was headed on a certain upward trajectory of success, money, comfort. And I was. Bought my little dream house on my own, bought my dream car...now, at 47, I’m still driving that (now old but paid for) car and I lost my house to foreclosure in 2014 at age 42. 🥴 It’s not at all been what I thought it would be. But I’m still getting paid to write.

I try to stay positive, but it’s hard to picture longevity when you’ve witnessed most senior people get dusted and the gigs at the top of the business (MD, CEO ,etc) are scarce by market. Am I just being pessimistic, or does anyone else here have a hard time envisioning the business carrying them through to retirement?

Sadly, I think that this reply captures the state of the industry now...and for the foreseeable future. There are lots of reasons for how we ended up here, but the bottom line is that clients have lots of ways to buy marketing services nowadays, so careers are harder to sustain past a certain point. I also think the career advice here is solid.

Other than citizenship, are there any other benefits of having a baby in the US vs in India? My wife and I may not be settling in the US, depending on what we decide over time. With that in mind, my wife is siding towards having the baby in India. When I checked online, I don’t really see any benefit except for the citizenship. Any inputs appreciated :)

Roll call. How much experience? Do you staff in a boutique? An agency? Freelance? If freelance, do you usually work in agency studios, prodcos...? Do you bring on a post producer to help on big jobs?

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.
