If you're an EVP, make sure it's clear what you bring to the table. But if you're just an early hire and the company is already established, equity is probably a long-term thing. Discuss it as a KPI, and put it in the contract. For now, just take a salary. Bird in the hand.

Known other who made similar jump, they were all offered profit sharing with equity after a certain period/hitting certain goals

I was able to do it without a hit. Most growing places would hopefully insist to offer equity, to help ensure you’ll be more invested in their success (no pun intended lol)

I missed the pun. That just seems like a straight-up use of the word.

I'd be nervous about an agency that was giving away equity too easily. Most agencies will expect you to earn it, unless you're bringing business with you or they're at the very early stages of their development. Make sure you get a good lawyer, I've also seen people screwed out of their stake because of bad contracts.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

FREELANCE DAY RATE QUESTION: What’s everyone at, these days (equivalent title and market would help for context):

Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore? I’ve been at my (smaller) agency almost 5yrs and got one raise (a nice $12k bump) during that time—is that sufficient? Is one increase in that span normal? I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
