For those Creatives on the market, are you having to take jobs from places like Creative Circle? I told myself never again am I going to let one of those companies take half my rate. But I was just thrust into freelance and was contacted the same day by a place for a contract job. Have heard bad things about the market, so debating if I should suck it up.
