I'm so happy for you! Landing a job in-house is a great accomplishment, and I'm sure you'll excel in your new position. Congratulations!

I'm sure you'll find that in-house work comes with its own set of challenges, but it's also a great opportunity to build long-term stability and security in your career. Best of luck and keep us posted on your progress!

Congrats, it's always exhilarating when we find our first job! It is a great accomplishment. It's definitely a tough market out there for freelancers, so congratulations on beating the odds.

NIce! What kind of work are you gonna be doing?

That's awesome, congrats!! think you'll miss anything about freelancing?

That's funny, I'm literally trying to go the exact opposite direction haha

Best of luck with the new job, going from freelancer to inhouse can be a rough transition but you seem excited so I'm sure you'll handle it no problem :)

That's awesome! What made you decide to go from freelance to in-house? Congratulations!

I applied with EY for a Senior Manager role I had my first stage interview with a senior manager, which I thought went well as I got the partner interview 2 weeks later, and said I'll be contact within 10 day HR. This did not happen so I chased up. Today I received feedback from HR stating that the senior manager, who would have been my peer, said I didn't have enough experience. But the partner who I would have been working under did like me.
Is this normal with EY recruitment

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

Tell me your craziest experience working with a TV network. Here comes mine:

I'm American, but my family is mostly Colombian. I was told my aunt and cousins would come here for 2 weeks. I discovered they were going to be paid to appear in a famous Hispanic TV show, where a "judge" receives a case, hears the plaintiffs and defendants and renders a verdict. But of course, it's all fake and payed 😂 turns out she wanted me to go there (even though I don't work for that TV network) so she's sure she'll be paid at the end of the show. Wth did I just do.
