Doing some research for a friend who’s a freelance director. Her shoot just got canceled halfway through the location scout after 2 weeks intense prep and flying cross country. She was working w/ a production company who I assume included kill fees in the contract with clients, but she’s unsure what she should expect to receive compensation-wise. Other jobs were turned down to work on this one. What’s the standard protocol these days around last minute cancels and kill fees?

Advice for Of Counsel roles? I am of counsel at a firm where I can set my own rate and keep a percentage of collections, which varies slightly depending on whether the client is one I generated or not. I’m finding that a lot of my work is for firm clients where the lawyer negotiated a flat fee (and the hours worked are less, due to efficiency etc). What is the right way for me to be compensated in this scenario?

How much should I aim for in my next jump??

Current ctc :18 fixed + 2 variable
tack: spring boot, java(certified java 8), spring cloud, microservices, angular, rdbms, aws practitioner certified
YOE: 9
YOE relevant: 4

I used to dot net dev, had a server deployment role, then into etl database testing and finally got an opportunity for full stack dev. I have even led small teams and been scrum master

Does past matter?
How much can I aim for in my next jump??
Any resources to prepare for it?
