Been on a longish freelance gig and worked nearly every weekend. It’s fine because as a freelancer I’m getting paid for it but damn, it makes me never want to go full time ever again cos they ain’t no way im doing that for free again.

Any upcoming law conferences/events?

Deloitte guys - Serious question.
How is Analytics & Cognitive doing at D? I have an offer and I am not sure if there will be layoffs again. I am on work visa so will be difficult.
Role will be for Google Cloud & Analytics. Current job doesn't suck much though.

Hi guys. Is EFA (Engagement Financial Advisor) under enabling areas coming to kolkata? TIA

canada vs. US salaries at Amazon? I’m interviewing for a role at amazon. Any insights on if the salaries advertised for US roles are comparable for Canadian roles? I don’t want to give my range - in fear that I’ll undersell myself. Any insights? (It’s for a senior proposal manager role -10+ years experience)

Leadership role in my state university’s alumni group vs leadership role at my firm’s early career group? Want to develop ways to show leadership for MBA applications in a few years. Thoughts?

I know that people say it’s all about story, but with a certain gpa/gmat score is there a “floor” that you’re safe on? For example would someone with 4.0/780 (not me) be pretty much assured at least 1 M7? Or is there a reasonable chance that all M7s will reject them? Or is their floor just lower (T15 for example)?

 I heard a commercial on the radio for Verizon that said something to the effect that parents are now learning how to lesson plan. Are any of you off the hook for lesson planning? Just wondering because I’m over here busting my butt!

I have an opening in my team in Novartis India ... It's an Associate Director level role of solution designer in businesss. It's an analytical profile. Please let me know if intrested.

What is your commute? Trying to gauge how far I should be willing to go for a good hospital lol

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.

New owner of apartment, looking to rent out- should I do it through my buildings management or sublease through fishbowl/fb etc? If you’ve done either of these, please provide your experiences and useful things I should know about. TIA!

Have any American Producers ever successfully been able to freelance abroad (London or Amsterdam)? Any advice?

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?

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.

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 👍🏻

How has anybody had luck with getting freelance account gigs? Been silent in LA

How do you go about driving up business as a freelancer? I used to search for email contacts but I’ve started to connect more on linkedin and IG

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

I booked a mat leave coverage that was supposed to run from June-Aug. I got 2 weeks in and resourcing called to say they found an internal resource to cover and they were cancelling my contract immediately. It sucked, but I get it. Obviously cheaper to use internal resources. Anything I can do to to protect myself a bit next time? Is it unheard of to write in some type of severance fee clause? Appreciate any help

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.

When you freelance somewhere you like, how does the full time conversion thing usually get facilitated? Wait until they bring it up? Talk to resource manager? What’s been your experience?

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.

Has anyone worked at WebMD before as a contractor?

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!

Any 100% remote PM positions out there?
I’m kicking back 10k for the referrer at 30Days in. I travel between Canada and Mexico.

Like 👍 to help spread the word 🙏

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!

What’s a good hourly rate for senior copywriters these days in LA? Couldn’t find anything under the search function.

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?

Hi all, I’m new to the freelance game so this may be a dumb question but how far in advance do you look for your next gig? My contract is up in December so I’m trying to game plan the best time to start really engaging.
