Freelanced at my dream job for 11 months, was hoping to convert to full time… just to be replaced by a cheaper freelancer 😞

Freelancing is incredibly hard. Keep your chin up! There’s millions of other clients.

Ugh, I’m sorry.

Similar thing happened to be and it’s absolutely gutting that this happened to you. As discouraging as this is right now please don’t fall into the spiral of making you doubt your value. Who knows maybe the discount freelancer will show their rate and you might get called back in bc you’re irreplaceable. If not then upwards and onwards for you to land full time in a space that exceeds your expectations and wildest dreams! Tend to your wounds but don’t let it fester, you got this!

You at least make a killing basically permalancing?

I love when people come on other threads to add positive and constructive advice, I have no value to add on since you all covered it but just wanted to say it was nice to read this.

Hey fishies!

Trying to break into creative strategy at an ad agency (no prior exp at one.) I have some mock campaigns and ads to show but nothing that's gone live. Any advice on how to get my foot in the doors of one of the top agencies? (Career pages, LI hasn't been working very well)

So today I walked into the client site and realized I left my laptop at home. Mind you my commute is around 60min one way. Let's just say, I've been contemplating on life since 8:45AM.
