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

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?

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!

Not sure if anyone is gonna be down for this but i know of a writing gig with a rate of $60-$80/hr. It’s mainly website copy for a web3 company so it could be good to get that experience. DM if you’re interested.

All of my writers are busy. Went FT, family stuff, already booked. I had to leave a 5 week contract on the table because I don’t have a deep enough writer pool.

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.

Any 100% remote PM positions out there?
