Anyone move from the bay side of the east bay to the 680 valley? We’ve been here for a year and are having a hard time adjusting to the weather and wondering if we’ll ever get used to it. We love getting outdoors but have felt like we’ve spent the better part of this summer inside just because of how hot it’s been. How do you keep up with the same level of activity with kids (running, cycling , hiking) while staying cool?

What are your financial and career goals as a BDR/SDR?

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

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 👍🏻

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.

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've been meeting with recruiters from staffing agencies and the freelance rates I'm being told are super low. What rates hourly/daily are you getting for ACD/art in NYC??

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

Is there a list of agencies and clients that don’t pay on time or at all? If not, can we start one here?

I enjoy being asked for samples when I featured my website 3 times through email. In the body, my signature and my resume. I spend 100~/year on it. It has my entire portfolio... 😒😒😒

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.

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?

Question to freelancers: why?
What are the benefits and the odds of being a freelancer and how did you make that choice?

Have you ever regretted your choice?

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.

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?

Are there any free invoice sending and tracking tools? I’m currently using google sheets but feel like there has to be an easier way.

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.

What’s the longest an agency has kept you waiting in reception on your first day of a gig?

Has anyone successfully proposed and negotiated a move from full-time at an agency to freelance? Would love to hear about both positive and negative experiences!

Digital EP in NYC - 12+ years experience at lots of big and notable agencies - I’m entertaining a freelance role now and leaving the full time world - Am I crazy for asking for a $150 an hour?

Does anyone know of a coworking spaces that focus on creatives and/or marketing companies? All the ones I know of like technexus, wework and 1871 in Chicago are tech company focused.
