Do people tend to age out of wanting to FIRE?

In your 20s-30s, you don’t know much, you’re told what to do, you have few financial resources so you are tied to your job. Under these circumstances it makes perfect sense why you would want to FIRE asap.

But eventually you advance up the ladder, you are now the boss and your people do all the grunt work. You also have built up expertise which makes the job easier. And you are making the best money of your life. FIRE is no longer so pressing.

Hi friends. Freelance Senior CW (7-8 years) here, currently negotiating a 2 month freelance contract at mcgarrybowen. They want my hourly rate which is always tricky in my opinion. My typical day rate is 800/day (Atlanta, Chicago). I'm thinking of saying $100/hour, but want to be competitive. Thoughts?

(For context, I have no idea whether this is for their NYC or Chicago office.)

If you’re full-time at an agency but looking for additional work as a freelancer, do you say you’re currently working at said agency during an interview for a possible freelance gig? I’ve had an instance where they said they can’t hire someone at another agency due to a conflict of interest. I love my current gig, so going freelance FT isn’t an option. What would you do in a situation like this? Is there a workaround, as it’s typically ghostwriting anyway with zero by-lines?

I spent the first few years out of school working in music before getting into advertising as an account person. Quickly realized it wasn’t for me.

I think I’ll be a Senior CW soon, but it feels like most folks my age (30) have been in that role for a bit or already past it. Since I can’t turn back time, any tips for catching up?
