For the freelancers here, what do you do when finishing a job- do you look for a job straight away or have a bit of time off in between? I’m always worried the gap would be too big without any work!

I say as soon as possible the encouragement and the excitement to meet other people learn from them and u also learn valuable knowledge and understanding and information its not just about the pay its about the quality and value of the person is whom him or her working for that brings motivation to me i dont know how other people feel but thats my answer

I don’t stop looking, because of that gap you’re talking about. You may get to a point that you need to turn down jobs because you’re busy but always keep looking.

I've been doing the freelance thing for over 15-years.
You NEVER wait until one gig has wrapped before seeking other projects.
You have to be constantly on the lookout and have the next thing tee'd up before the active one finishes unless you have a break planned.

I always start looking before my contract is up. I don't want to have to be scrambling and dipping into my meager savings while looking for work.

It depends on how big the last job was and how well it paid. But honestly, at this point I’m always looking for my next gig. You never know how long it’s going to take you to find something.

I never have a gap. I start looking for something else before the first contract is up. The job market is rough and I don't want to risk being without a job.

I am an associate at a UMM and my employment contract has a 4 month non compete (yes, even for associates) but I am thinking of lateraling. What are the implications of breaking a non compete? I didn’t say anything when I signed because I was desperate for a PE offer but it seems so unfair as I am just a lowly associate. I am not so much worried about getting sued, but about my current employer tanking my reputation if I leave and break the non compete.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
