Nothing. I’m making more $$, completely remote, never needed in agency team building meetings/activities, and just get to concentrate on the work. Why would I ever go back?

I’ve actually had a hard time getting hired back… I get interviews easily, but agencies are like “you’ve been freelance for 4 years, why should we hire you to manage people?”

CD1 that is exactly what I would want to hear from a Creative Director, who wants to come back full-time. If I hear that someone is missing the mentorship, the inspiration and the community - that would mean a lot.

CD5 Last two years have been great. Made money freelancing all while producing work good enough to add to portfolio. But this is unlikely to continue. I think my equity will grow faster if I dedicate the next couple of years being a creative lead on the brand side. Things are looking turbulent at the moment. It would be nice to ride it out at a company that's unlikely to be raddled🤞

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
