Has anyone had any experience freelancing with Paro? I’m seeing these jobs posted and am curious.

I was self employed for several years and had myself listed on their platform for about a year. I didn’t feel their system was very useful. They will send you leads they think are a good match for you; 99% of the time the ones sent to me were in no way a good match. You also can scroll through their system to see available leads and write a pitch to have them present you to the lead. There is no concrete amount of flat rate or hourly pay info listed per lead, just a vague range. Ultimately I removed myself from the platform as the amount of time it took to respond to leads (with very vague info) seemed way too high. For freelancing my best clients and projects mostly came via professional contacts or word of mouth. I did have a good experience with Beech Valley Consultants who have a somewhat similar model. I found BV had a much more hands on strategy of trying to match me with clients of theirs.

Hi ,
I'm a Marketing student and was recently offered part time internship positiom on the marketing team of really cool FinTech Venture Capital company .During the final interview , I luckily asked for their pay range for interns and almost fell to the ground when he said $30/hr min. I would have said $18/$20 if I hadn't asked him instead .The average student earns between $15-$20 ...so it sounds really good but that's only an opening offer. Should I ask for a higher amount like $35 -$40?

We probably will want to relocate and therefore sell our house in 2-4 years. I don’t have any interest in selling now but I’m starting to get nervous that in 2-4 years interest rates will have gone back up and we’d sell for much less. Someone help talk me off the ledge... I can’t time getting market anyway... no need to freak out and sell when I’m not ready, etc. (or conversely, tell me financially I really should sell now if that is what you think!)

Would I need to inform my firm if I intend to move to another state to work remotely? Firm asks that we work from the office a couple of days a week but the policy is not really enforced.
