After 4y as a permalancer in the same agency, my day rate has been upped by fair amount (+25%) without letting me know. I’ve just seen the new day rate, without any communication.
Should I let them know? The contract has been sent by an employee who’s been made redundant, so I don’t know if that’s an oversight or not.
In ten days I’ll be in the office and my plan was to discuss a new day rate anyway (actually higher than the new one), so now I just don’t know how to play it

Looking to rent a home in the Central Park area but there are very few homes available for rent on Zillow. Does anyone know of any other platforms that might have listings that are not on Zillow? I imagine most people who are trying to rent out their home/investment property would list on Zillow but thought I’d ask!

Anyone been able to work from Dubai for a UK/US firm and benefit from no taxes? I know if you are a US citizen you pay taxes where you are globally, but if you are British, then you only pay income tax on UK income - so if you live more than half the year abroad you are classed as non-domicile resident, but wanted to hear if anyone’s done this or heard about it?

Is your hourly rate based on a 40 hour or 50 hour work week? I ‘d like to make my day rate at 40 hours, but wasn’t sure if that was standard. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi there! Has anyone freelanced up at VMLY&R or Wunderman Thompson lately? I’m wondering if they will pay your LLC.

Trying to avoid paying an accountant, can I actually write off home office space/mileage if I was just permalancing for 3 months last year? Shouldn’t the 7 months of W2 take care of this 1099 shit?

Have you ever asked a FT gig if you could freelance instead of going FT either to test out the agency/team or to wait out a better offer?

Any insights are appreciated.

Is booking 40hrs a week freelancing for one company a good idea? Or does that seem like you don’t have anything else going on? I would like a good work life balance with the ability to take off weeks at a time in the middle of all this.

Anyone have any advice on who to contact for merch/apparel related gigs? Preferably in the music or sports industry. Recommendations for agencies that focus on this are also greatly appreciated!

Friendly reminder folks- don’t work for Havas Health and You. They cut the freelancers hourly rates, again and made it so there’s no OT. The resource manager at HOV said if I couldn’t swing $80 an hour as an HCP copywriter, she’d have to find someone else. Good luck 👍🏻

Has anyone worked at WebMD before as a contractor?

any freelance Sr, ACD or CD ads looking for a cw partner in Chicago? Would love to have a few ads if I come across FL team needs.

I’ve come to a point where I just started at the green dot on my laptop camera when talking. I want to do the Errol Morris interrotron to get some sort of connection. The lack of eye contact or staring off to the side from other participants makes me think they have high anxiety or on the spectrum like rain man.

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

Is freelancing as a Photographer and Retoucher possible in LA or SF? Is anyone making that happen for themselves?

Hi... I am T2 consulting manager based in London. Urgently need of a paid work. Can someone connect me to some recruiter/agencies for freelancing etc ?

I may need a freelance senior (ish) AD to partner with for the month of January, in house at a start up. Post your books!

On the verge of turning an hourly client into a retainer. Any tips?

Quick PSA: one of the perks of going in-house, is that you’re no longer at an ad agency and all that that entails.

Just started a new in-house tech fl gig and it’s giving me whiplash! Somehow this dept has brought every person/toxic behavior from their old agency just to a new environment. Nowhere is perfect but good god. I honestly think companies/HR could learn a lot about their depts from freelancers.

I recently raised my rates after being told I wasn’t charging enough on here. Both of my main clients have already responded saying they either can’t pay me my new rate ($125/hour with 15 years experience) or are interested in “talking further.” So naturally I’m starting to freak out a little bit. I’m still pretty new to freelancing full time. What do I do/say? Do I hold my ground and hope for clients that pay me what I’m worth? Or lower my rates/standards and hope I can make ends meet! Help!

How’s the freelance market in SF right now?

Any account people successfully make the switch to freelance? How do you find the gigs?
