Yeah put exactly zero eggs in that basket.

I use CC emails entirely as an economic indicator. If theyre sending out a bunch of gigs (paying 10 bucks an hour, for 8 years experience, for a health & beauty agency, in a neighborhood Ive never heard of), then it means theres work out there.

But yeah for finding actual work youre better off hanging out around a Whole Foods salad bar, running into your old boss and asking whats going on.

Definitely meh. Definitely getting 100% markup on the rates they offer you. Definitely still being put to use, though; that company is worth so much damn money. Point is, I don’t think it matters either way, but if you need additional outlets for work, you might as well feed the beast and get your paper.

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?

Farewell freelance life. It was good (money) while it lasted. Unfortunately, the stress of looking for my next gig and never saying “no” to any gigs wore me out. Huzzah for health insurance and 401k!
