For freelance - what do you think looks better / is more effective on LinkedIn - listing the companies under “self employed” or a freelance company name, or putting them as separate entries under each company?

Depends on what the names of the brands/agencies are. I have all my gigs listed out because they're known agencies (or they have cool logos).

I also recommend giving your freelance operation its own LinkedIn page. It just looks cooler than the boring freelance option LinkedIn gives you.

I list them under my freelance business name. just a personal opinion but I felt like having a ton of companies I worked at for a month or two listed individually felt a little off. I’ve seen it both ways though, not sure one is more effective than the other.

Does having the current gig listed as a unique entry reduce odds you’ll attract the next one?

And it never hurts to get a proper LLC and make a LinkedIn page for it like someone suggested. Especially if you’ve done it or are planning to do it for a long time (1 year+).

I do both. For 2 reasons: it shows how long you were at each gig, which is good for long-term contracts or if you have little to no gaps in between gigs. Also, recruiters will often search by your past companies so if you freelance at big names, they can find you that way.

Yes I list all the agencies under a freelance job and then post big shops as a separate job. So they can see everything at a glance if they aren’t gonna scroll through my work history. I do this on LinkedIn only, not my resume.

Does anyone else just not even want to be a people manager anymore?! The amount of work this is taking, I’m just so over it. In addition to them piling on my work (which is a full time job) the people management stuff is just as much a full time job that no one in management seems to take into account. I have tried countless times to explain this but I end up burnt out, everyone suffers including me. I just left one role bc of it and now this new role, same thing. I’m over it.

Is it any surprise we’re seeing mass layoff in tech? Years of rich friends hiring rich friends with no work ethic has lead us here. I know way too many tech people who work maybe an hour a day followed by errands and traveling. A lot of getting in these places is who you know, apparently that doesn’t work out like it used to. The amount of people who worked for Meta, Apple, Amazon, etc for a few months / maybe a year is astounding. it’s around that time frame a boss can tell if you’re worth it

Hi Fishes

Joined My new company this Jan. My previous income was not eligible for tax slabs. Now while adding the income from Apr 21-Mar 2022 it's become 5.9 LPA. I don't have any investments and in my new company I declared the same. The only tax exemption I have is PF contribution and professional tax. I have only 25K PF contribution and 2.5K professional tax. So while calculating the tax I am getting 15K as tax payable. How can I avoid this 15k. Kindly pour your suggestions. TIA.
