Should I specialize in Blockchain or AI? I’m a freshman in a CS degree and I can’t decide. My main argument to choose blockchain is the easy entry with little experience and high salary, I plan on growing my skills during the bear market and get a job once the market recovers. Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.

How long do you spend on monthly reporting for your clients?
My 3-person team spends about 15+ hours a month each writing monthly reports for our clients (99 small retainer clients). We’ve received feedback that they’re too complicated and the clients just want to know - are we on the right track, what action items are there, and what any next steps are in their strategy.
How do you simplify without losing value?

Working @ RGA100+ hour weeks without knowing if or what the $ will be. How is this legal?

“your weekly rate covers your salary for the full week. Our general work schedule at R/GA is Monday through Friday, however, all salaried freelancers are eligible for a discretionary bonus which factors in extraordinary time you bill to jobs outside of our general work schedule as well as your overall performance. This discretionary bonus would be paid out on a monthly basis and is not guaranteed.”

#Question - What is a good rate for a HALF-DAY shoot as a freelance photographer/AD for a mid-level agency with big clients? I’d be taking the photos! Editorial/usage rights for digital and social.

3 freelance inquiries in one day. All 3 about how they need someone with my specific experience, all 3 offering half my usual hourly rate. I said OK since I'm not booked. After telling me to "hang tight" all three ghosted.

Any good recos on accountants in NYC? I’d really like one who is responsive to emails/calls, explains things clearly, and helps with freelance things like LLC, quarterly taxes, etc.

On a gig with an end date but a hold for the following week. Got strong interest from a place that wants me to break the hold (not the booking) is a longer gig and is offering more $$. Advice?

Has anyone started an S-corp and later gone full time? Husband has been freelancing full time since last summer. Initially we thought it would be six months before converting to FT, but he’s been extended as an independent contractor until 2023. Ideally that sticks because he’s making north of $300k but he’s been hesitant to go S-corp in case they decide to make him convert. What happens to the S-corp in that scenario?

what do you charge for weekend and overtime work?

Hi everyone, I’m new to FL. What do you think a good hourly and day rate would be for a mid-level Copywriter with 3 years of experience?

My accounting edge finance is not compatible with the new Mac OS. I do not need the $15/month subscription they offering as an upgrade since I’m a lone freelancer. I’ve always kept my own books and did my own taxes. Anyone else out there with a basic bookkeeping program recommendation for Mac would be appreciated.

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?

Anyone else freelancing as a product manager / product owner with a company? How did you get the project? I'm looking for more projects.

Got offered a freelance job thats $200 below my usual rate. Its for a pitch. Is it fair if I tell them that Im happy with the rate for a 10 hour work day but afterwards, I’d charge for OT?
