Does anyone put a minimum weekly rate into their freelance contracts? I signed 40/h a week hourly contract but have had some sit and wait on feedback weeks. Turning out to be much less than I had planned for on my monthly bill rate. Would love any advice to avoid under-billing next time.

I think if you signed a 40 hr/week contract you should bill 40h/wk. esp if you’re “on call” waiting for feedback etc, and can’t take on other work. If you’re expected to be at your desk/ready/accessible to them you should be billing IMO.

Is it *up to 40 hours*, or did either of you explicitly agree that you are expected to work exclusively for them? If not, they must pay you for 40 hours/week as outlined in the agreement, or they have zero right to 100% of your 40 hour workweek and thus must accommodate your availability.

Yes! I was offered a day rate lower than my typical and I said I would take it so long as it was a guaranteed 2x a week. They wanted me in the office too, so that seemed pretty reasonable. They went with somebody else cheaper 🤡

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?

**I'm not in Chicago

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
