After freelancing for years and doing well, would you consider a full time job? It's really hard to give up the flexibility of freelance, but... also hard to give up having a 401k match again. Salary would be similar to freelance money, but less time off. Thoughts?

Hi Fishes,

What package can we expect for Senior Enterprise Architect with 15 years of experience in Salesforce India?

Working at a Digital Marketing Agency based out of Cochin with presence in USA & Canada, we cater to clients from India, US, UK, EU.
I'm the main POC for our largest client in India in FMCG, and it's our 4th year without a challenge. I'm one step below CXos of the company and two others are in the same level as me. We have a couple of junior execs. I make 53.8k per month now, I wanted to know if I'm getting underpaid or this is the best salary I can expect elsewhere in the region.

Hi, I am serving notice period and almost 38 days left. My current CTC is 4.25 with 2.6 years experience as front end developer (React). How much CTC should I expect..? I managed to get 10.5 as of now.

I was passed up for a promotion after 1.5 years at the agency/in the role despite consistently great feedback and was told that I just needed more time in role. A guy with my experience level was....

I need everyone’s help😭 Money aside, how did you finalize which idea to pursue? I’m struggling to narrow it down from 4. Focusing is not an issue for me once I’m locked in, but I’m struggling to get there because I haven’t finalized which idea to focus on. Open to any recommendations please (books, personal stories, etc).

Moving from government to BigLaw as a 6th year. Since I'm coming in as a mid-level, I feel like this transition is different than a junior whom partners expect to know little. Any advice?

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?

Do you think sticking it out in BL for 8 years pays off as far as in house prospects/salary go? Or is it all kind of the same after a certain time period. I’m in privacy if that helps (all aspects-trans, regulatory, lit).

But keep getting told by recruiters that I don't have enough experience to be a Consultant or Manager but that I have too much experience to enter in every level such as a Senior Associate.

I’m finding that environmental noise has increased near my office now that tourism has picked back up in my city, and I’m struggling to block it out. I’ve tried earplugs but the noises tend to vibrate my office building so the earplugs don’t work well as an entire block.

LA or remote, seeking retouching opportunities.

Hi friends, happy new year! Wondering if anyone else is finding it slow in the freelance world (agency production specifically) right now? I usually get hit up constantly but it’s been pretty quiet the past two weeks or so.

Thoughts on recruiting firms in LA? Looking to freelance beginning in Oct / Nov!

Producer with EP and Line Production experience available immediately. Currently in NYC, but can work out of California as well. Can jump in and help with agency bidding and shoot bidding. Thanks!

Looking for a producer for helping me to scope a branding (traditional+digital) and digital experience (mainly UI look and feel) project. Will need help with creating timelines as well. Would appreciate hearing from people with experience on these areas.

Looking for junior level producer to join a kick-ass team at a new agency launched in 2020 within a well known tech Brand. Great opportunity for someone with an entrepreneurial spirit, w/a few years of production experience, looking to learn how to make tv spots, online videos, social content and radio spots. Should be able to handle multiple projects at a time, be willing to roll up sleeves and wear many hats. Agency is all remote for now but offices will be in Soho, NYC. DM for more info.

Coming up for air and hearing of looming freelance/contractor opportunities. DM me if you’re a senior producer and interested and and available for a gig in-house, brand-side for a cable/tech project. Fast paced, all remote, but team is on East Coast so those would be the hours.

I recently went freelance as an EP and started my own LLC as well (to get the full benefits of being a freelancer). Some agencies and clients want to pay on a W2 versus 1099 / as an independent contractor. Should I still take the gig if W2 or stand my ground and pass?

Anyone currently freelancing for a big tech co? Dying for some tips / hints on how to get my foot in the door...!

I am booked on a month-long gig at a great agency and another not as good agency just reached out to book me for a three month gig. The agency I am at has said they could possibly extend me and they just put me on a TV campaign that ships mid March But haven’t definitely said they are extending me past the initial month booking. Would it be bad form to say to the agency I am currently at that another agency wants to book me for three months and ask them to book me for two more months

Anyone looking for a remote freelance senior producer? Video content focused.

Not sure if this has been discussed yet, but do you charge tax on your freelance, 1099 invoices? Trying to accommodate for taxes being taken out and inflation 😪 would love to know if this is common practice - I’m in NYC. Thanks!
