Freelancers with S-Corps/LLCs — what are you doing about agencies pushing W2 contracts lately?
I make a lot more on 1099. Are you raising your rates for W2 to offset the tax hit?

Quick PSA: one of the perks of going in-house, is that you’re no longer at an ad agency and all that that entails.

Just started a new in-house tech fl gig and it’s giving me whiplash! Somehow this dept has brought every person/toxic behavior from their old agency just to a new environment. Nowhere is perfect but good god. I honestly think companies/HR could learn a lot about their depts from freelancers.
