Hi everyone. Need guidance on entering private equity sector. I am a CA and CS. Currently working at PwC SDC in assurance. Any guidance will be very much appreciated. Thanks!

I'm the only employee with a background in finance in a tech startup growing at a 300%+ per year. But it's actually my first finance-related experience (interned and now part-time as I'm in my senior year of undergrad) and don't know really how to have an impact as my knowledge is "limited" and have no technical mentorship.

Any advice/mentorship would be wonderful!

Hi y'all
Anybody here pivoted careers completely? How did you go about it? How much time did it take for the transition ? What tools or online help(training/ coaching) did you take to make the switch??

The CW that I’d work the longest with (for about 3 years) had just being promoted to ECD on a big cool shop after very good run. Meanwhile I was just promoted to ACD at an OK medium shop after a very torturous run that almost made me quit ad life for good.

Sometimes I wonder what the hell did I do wrong.
I didn’t even think he was that good back then 😂.

He is a nice guy tho and I’m happy for him and for whoever will be working for him.

I’m getting back into the design game after taking a break.

I have recently received an offer from HSBC for Data Engineer profile. The designation offered is Senior Analyst- Information Management. They said that it is a techno functional role. Does anyone have an idea about what techno functional role actually is in HSBC? Is it more like a Business Analyst? My prior experience is completely in Technical side. Will this role be suitable for me?

Question: what’s best practice for LinkedIn? Listing all the agencies you’ve freelanced at in your description, or having each stint in your job history?

Freelance social media managers: how to you charge for your services? What deliverables are included? What’s your rate?

Recently got a contract job at Facebook NY. I’ve mostly only been a FTE for the entirety of my career, so a bit nervous as I want to eventually be offered FT but feeling a lot of pressure to perform for the next 5 months to prove my worth. At some point it will surely get exhausting. Any tips for how to deal with this? Also curious to know what a mid-level PM normally gets paid as a freelancer?

What would a fair day rate be for a pharma/health agency? Also, is it worth taking the gig just for money? I have other gigs to put in my book. Thanks!

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.

Does anyone else struggle with being a freelancer while also being a natural leader? I always feel in freelance roles that they would prefer I just shut up (even though my ideas have been praised and implemented plenty), esp within my own dept. In a full-time role, taking charge is expected, but I'm feeling like I should just sit back and take orders vs trying to be proactive or having thoughts in a freelance role.

At what point do we publicly announce a minimum day rate under which no freelancer will go? The news this week about what C-level titles are paid is sickening. This is feudalism. Surfs unite!

Does anyone here freelance (in design or deckmaking) on top of their full time position? How does that work?

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.

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

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?

I know the day rate the Chicago office of a large agency paid a friend with equivalent experience to me. Safe to add 100 to that for my rate in the NY office or nah?

Any advice on how to get clients to pay your invoice on time / what to do when they don't? I'm currently working with an agency who agreed to net 30 terms, but has been late with every invoice so far...It's probably a lost cause on this particular job, but Im wondering if there's anything I can do in the future to avoid this situation. Does anyone charge a fee when invoices aren't paid on time? Or is this just par for the freelance life?

A client of a former employer wants to hire me as a 1099 employee through a separate vendor. If I'm under a non-compete, what's the best course of action? addendum? request release? too sketchy?

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.
