Had an interview with a top agency for a freelance gig, pulled 10 min before it started because they realised they staff it internally (who knows if thats the real reason). Gutted

Won’t they already know if you’re proxying the details lol?

Sorry to hear. This happens often. Sometimes they don’t even tell you. You find out days after the job was supposed to start if even at all. Usually they’ll just ghost you.

Or the recruiter was late with reading their emails. Either way keep pushing. Especially if it’s freelance.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
