Has anyone experienced a production house charging you a wire fee to pay your invoice? My invoice was under $5k and I was traveling so didn't want the check mailed to me as they normally do (arrives 5 days after net 30 and takes another 3 to clear with the bank). The net 30 for freelancers needs to be abolished already!

I want to know the job security in the Siemens

Thinking about finding a tri or four plex and house hacking with an fha loan. Ideally would be in the October/ November 2021 timeframe (that’s when current apartment lease ends and gives me time to research a lot and build up some more reserve money). Currently 24 in Chicago and just started working beginning of October this year. I’d love any opinions or advice going forward

I left RSM in November 2021 and reached my 4 year mark in October 2021. Will I be fully vested in my 401(k) match? If so, when should we expect to match to show on fidelity?

For me personally, I work in: theoretically, commensurate, copious, pragmatic, and discern.

What are folks doing about delta variant? Seems more scary for kids, but I just got used to being mask off again.

I'm 31 and looking to date (with the prospect of getting married). I'm originally from India living in the UK. I do plan to move back to India in a couple of years. Also, I'm not too keen on having kids. Are these too many conditions to be able to find a partner? I understand that these are very specific questions but looking to hear from anyone who's had success in finding a partner in a somewhat similar situation.

My bg check won't clear until maybe 9/22. Should I just go ahead and give my current employer a notice/resignation letter?

Shooting to resign by 9/26 or 9/27 and I don't wanna be a dick and tell them last minute but I know I don't owe it to them either.

Feeling down and need some positive vibes ✨ Just booked a month long gig last week to start on Wednesday/tomorrow. My last gig was almost 2 months ago. Was so relieved then woke up this morning to an email telling me it’s canceled… 😩

Any / tips advice on how you learned to prospect and build a sales strategy? Specifically when it comes to LinkedIn? Does premium or sales navigator make a difference? Thanks in advance 💜

Anyone had any experience with Creative Circle? l’m considering using them to get a position but l’ve heard they can be kinda meh.

What are you guys having more success with these days during remote work - hourly, day, weekly or project rates? I find myself billing less than 30 hrs a week but then working a lot - taking new biz calls, admin, switching back and forth btw clients, etc. Anyone else going through this?

At what point do you either say “sorry my time is up for the day” or “if you’d like me to work more than 12 hours a day, it’s 1.5x my rate?” I’d like to be a team player and have been putting my time in, but this is the reason I got out of full time. Is this my fault for not setting these guidelines up when I started? I’m guessing I’ll burn the bridge if I tell them this is not what I agreed to. Thoughts?

Finance peeps question: How do you convert annual salary to a freelance rate, what’s the formula for billable hours per year/hourly rate $$?

If you’re posting an opportunity on here and the location of said opportunity is in a city that sucks, just come out and reveal it from the get-go. Trying to be vague about it only pisses people off.

Writers, how many jobs do you dare take at one time?

Ethical question: do you charge more if you know the client’s budget is higher? I am working on a project and was told they’d like to keep it under $3k. Based on the scope of the project and my hourly rate I don’t expect it to be more than $750…

If I work two days in one week but make 2k, how do I answer the unemployment question "did you make $504 anywhere besides self employment?"

Anyone know of any recruiting firms or specific recruiters I should be connecting with on LinkedIn? Been struggling to line some more work up lately. I typically work in editorial and branding for reference

I’m a freelancer with an LLC but sometimes companies hire me as a regular freelancer and allow me to contribute to their 401k plan. This year, for example, I have already maxed out my 2022 contribution. Should I, on top of that, create a individual 401k (aka solo 401k) and try to max it out as well?

I’m about to set up an LLC. Does it make a difference what bank I set this up with? If anyone has had a positive experience with a specific bank, I’d love to hear it!
