Curious what agency producers / creatives think about using freelance editors lately? Seems like it’s an inevitable future.

What will be an approximate I hand for 12.93L Package. Where 1.1L is bonus

Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company. She however recommended me for the permanent opportunity to higher management. The acting manager came in, permanent role was posted, I applied, interviewed……manager told me they chose someone else external for the role. I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently

Women who went back/forgave your cheating partner, why did you do it? Did it work out in the end?

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident). I just got told they’re firing me. Should I expect severance? Have other people been fired for similar? What did you do with your career?

Is secondment provided to newly hired managers?

Is it a bad idea to have a mentor or advisor who isn't a minority? Would it be better to get one that is? There's a woman I would consider asking to be my mentor but she's white and I'm mixed Korean and African American. I feel like there might be stuff I want to ask her or get help with that she doesn't understand.

Do we get anything on diwali from optum

When negotiating a sign on bonus with a new firm based on the fact that you were anticipating a bonus for that fiscal year and are leaving before that is paid out, do you have to do anything to prove you would have actually received a bonus/the amount of bonus you would have received?

Hello - moving the NL with my Dutch husband this Summer and am interested in MBB. I don't have a masters (not common in the US), I have my bachelors. Is it possible for me to still get into MBB? Is anyone willing to chat about office culture and willing to give a rec? Thanks!

Anyone know where I can get a free 4 hour ethics course for CPE? I'm no longer at EY

Does anyone know how much a catalog lead makes and what their career path is ?

I’m close to finalizing a deal with a startup that I’m really excited about. They’re asking me to create a contract for them to review - but I’ve always been given contracts from agencies/brands that I’ve revised.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a standard form that I can use as a base template?

No matter how many years I’ve freelanced, I still find it difficult to accurately (and fairly) predict how many hours a project will take in order to bid on it (and bake in revisions). Any tips or tricks out there?

thoughts on “net 30” payment terms? has a company ever not paid on time? what do you do when that happens?

Any freelance ACD writers want to partner up for projects? People who do only freelance, no full-timers ;)

#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.

Are agencies pretty good at hiring on if they “wanna try you out Freelance first”?

Is there anything worse than ALMOST booking a project with a top tier agency?

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!

How do you deal with references as a freelancer? Most of my past gigs - I had managers on paper but it was a formality as I led my own work so don't feel comfortable asking them to be a reference.

Any tips from women who had to take maternity leave while contracting? I’d been hoping to switch to a FT role before COVID then well you know...After 3 months I finally landed a couple contract opportunities but no luck yet with a FT role. I’m due in Feb and getting nervous. I know most companies also have a wait period to qualify for leave but am hoping to get hired at a more progressive company or negotiate. Also wondering if I can get unemployment if my W2 contract is set to end by due date?

So what are we doing for health insurance? Is there any service that's disrupting the industry? Every time I try to get information on plans it's a money pit.

what do you charge for weekend and overtime work?

How much higher should my 1099 hourly rate be compared to hourly breakdown of annual salary? Like add 30% for taxes, then roughly how much more considering no benefits etc. - like 10-15%?

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.

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

What is the minimum unit of time you bill? A quarter of an hour?

Seems like even the smallest task requires at least that much attention.

How do you balance FT freelance contracts with ongoing, one-off freelance client work? For me the trickiest part is not knowing when I will be free for meetings with the one-off clients.

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?

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?
