For those freelancers, can we still write off meals out off our taxes as an entertainment expense? Not making much in the past, I’ve been overly liberal with the interpretation. Now that I’ve returned to freelance a couple people told me it “no longer works like that”, but had others dispute that. Was I dumb to save all nut restaurant receipts?

My PSP and People Manager have been kind of lenient, cooperative and kind to me because I was never told I will be put in PIP, I have to enter project not matching my skillset etc etc.

How has anybody had luck with getting freelance account gigs? Been silent in LA

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

Any suggestions on where to look to find some remote work?

Any account people successfully make the switch to freelance? How do you find the gigs?

I recently raised my rates after being told I wasn’t charging enough on here. Both of my main clients have already responded saying they either can’t pay me my new rate ($125/hour with 15 years experience) or are interested in “talking further.” So naturally I’m starting to freak out a little bit. I’m still pretty new to freelancing full time. What do I do/say? Do I hold my ground and hope for clients that pay me what I’m worth? Or lower my rates/standards and hope I can make ends meet! Help!
