Feeling discouraged as a new freelancer with no work right now. I’m trying to network during the down time but nothing seems to be getting bites. Any advise? Or any others feeling the same way?

Is salary credited?

Will production even be fun when we go back??

I'm having difficulties connecting with my team over Zoom, and I'm feeling lonely. Anyone else?

Interviewing around right now. What comp should I ask for M1 roles? IT Audit, NYC

Is firm travel back up to pre covid levels?

Is a 2200/2400 sat score worth putting on my resume/application?

What is the drug culture like at your office? I assume people don’t openly talk about what they do in their free time if illicit, but they may do so quietly or you can otherwise tell.
Do you get the impression many people do them? If so, soft drugs (ex - weed)? Hard drugs? Non-prescribed study drugs? Frequency? At work-sponsored social functions? To an extent that it’s noticeable/problematic?

McK AMA. On PTO this week and next. What do you want to know?

When you’re on a date, how do you explain your job?

Ryan Murphy is the new Aaron Spelling. Big rich producer making money off of cheesy shlock. I guess you can’t take the Indiana out of the boy. Heart’s in the right place though. Bless his heart.

Making the switch from plaintiff to defense L&E in January. Would love any and all tips from people who’ve made the jump (including partners who may have supervised these types of attorneys!)

Where did people have success with stamping? I’m a Russian citizen and trying to get an H1B stamp to visit my family. Been close to 2 years since I haven’t travelled abroad and hate it

I have an L2 interview scheduled today for Java Aws Developer with LTI. I have total more than 7 YoE. Can anyone tell me what can be the difficulty level and will it be a pure technical round?

Thoughts on recruiting firms in LA? Looking to freelance beginning in Oct / Nov!

Thank you Fishbowl - 👁 ❤️ 🐠

How do you choose which production company to work with? ie. What are the characteristics or criteria you look for when making your decision? What makes you trust that company?

Day rate v. Hourly I currently accepted a rate for 20 hours a week, which I don’t like doing because I always end up working more. How do you define your hours in these instances and make it known that they aren’t paying you to be available all day long?

Any integrated producers looking for a full time job? San Diego based company looking for a integrated producer. Let me know if you’re interested!

Any digital producers out there who are savvy with DCO? Remote assignment for a Brand through EOY. DM me if that’s you!

Coming up for air and hearing of looming freelance/contractor opportunities. DM me if you’re a senior producer and interested and and available for a gig in-house, brand-side for a cable/tech project. Fast paced, all remote, but team is on East Coast so those would be the hours.

Not sure if this has been discussed yet, but do you charge tax on your freelance, 1099 invoices? Trying to accommodate for taxes being taken out and inflation 😪 would love to know if this is common practice - I’m in NYC. Thanks!

Producer with EP and Line Production experience available immediately. Currently in NYC, but can work out of California as well. Can jump in and help with agency bidding and shoot bidding. Thanks!

LA or remote, seeking retouching opportunities.

Hi There, I’m a Senior freelance Digital PM/Producer based out of Toronto, Canada. I figure with remote work being the norm now, there would be more opportunity to collaborate with US agencies. Has anyone had the experience of doing this? I know some agencies have strict hiring protocol but I am incorporated. Any advice would help! Thank you

Looking for a producer for helping me to scope a branding (traditional+digital) and digital experience (mainly UI look and feel) project. Will need help with creating timelines as well. Would appreciate hearing from people with experience on these areas.

Looking for a junior producer that also knows talent and traffic?

Fresh thread for a rate check amongst us producers?

I want a raise but think agencies will scoff. At $1200 and want to bump up to $1300.

17 yrs broadcast/video, some awards, agency, brand and post experience.

I recently went freelance as an EP and started my own LLC as well (to get the full benefits of being a freelancer). Some agencies and clients want to pay on a W2 versus 1099 / as an independent contractor. Should I still take the gig if W2 or stand my ground and pass?

Average day rate for an EP contemplating a freelance role as an Interactive Prod at a FAANG co.?! Got more than a decade of experience managing global integrated programs for many top brands 😬

Hi friends, happy new year! Wondering if anyone else is finding it slow in the freelance world (agency production specifically) right now? I usually get hit up constantly but it’s been pretty quiet the past two weeks or so.

This is great! Glad someone did this
