Asking for fixed price without fixed scope creates false confidence. On paper, it looks like risk transfer. In reality, risk is only postponed. Assumptions multiply, change requests grow, and relationships become defensive. Fixed price works only when scope, data quality, integrations, and decision rights are stable. Otherwise, the project turns into contract management instead of delivery. Price certainty without scope certainty is an illusion.

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.

Have any of you taken "low bono" clients while working at a firm? I want to take on a low bono client or two but not sure who would get the money.

I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.
