Hi folks,

Thanks in advance

Whats the appraisal cycle period at lti and is there any mid year hike happening in 2022.

Also when do we get the bonus amount? And is it in whole or bifurcation happens ?

How much do tech recruiters make? You know, the ones that harass you with copy/pasted messages through email and LinkedIn.

Do they make salary or is it based on successful hires?

Need to recommend a hotel to my family who's visiting from the USA in a couple of weeks. They like to stay in local boutique type places and BnBs, not chains. Any suggestions?

Currently 16 weeks with an inconsistent bump. Sometimes is noticeable and other times it’s not, anyone experienced this? Currently it went back to almost non existent and am worried

Only senior on a demanding client, managing multiple staff and managers. I really like my team and the work but I’m starting to lose motivation and burn out after the long time being the only one in my position here... and I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but feels like I don’t get fairly paid for the amount of time and effort I put in... any advice to get out of this negative mindset?

Keep waking up at 4 am.. anyone have tips on how to avoid this and sleep thru the night? Generally go to bed around 1030 and wake up 630

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role. I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.

Hi, i have 9 years of experience. i got offer from Tech Mahindra, Spotcheck and TietoEvry. Package is almost same in all the companies. Please say which is good in work life balance and job security

My dad who lives in Asia just announced that he had a medical issue. I’m starting to enter the age where I’m going to take care of him financially. It’s a $2,000 hospital bill which in the US is nothing compared to what it represents there (which he can’t afford). He’s going to be fine! Just wanted to share with this group as many of you can understand what it feels like to support your parents when they’re old, not the other way around. I feel so blessed I can help him. 🙏🏽

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…

[SERIOUS] Trump supporters, what does American “greatness” look like to you? Specifically, when POTUS says he wants to MAGA, what does “again” look like?

Took PM robitussin instead of DM 🤦 mad tired right now..😴

Is booking 40hrs a week freelancing for one company a good idea? Or does that seem like you don’t have anything else going on? I would like a good work life balance with the ability to take off weeks at a time in the middle of all this.

any freelance Sr, ACD or CD ads looking for a cw partner in Chicago? Would love to have a few ads if I come across FL team needs.

2021 FREELANCE RATE THREAD. Let’s share to see how 2021 budgets seem to be. I’ll start, Associate design director, $1200/day

Art directors and graphic designers - any recommendations on brands and models of monitors? 4K or no? I want something for color accuracy and detail work, but no way I’m spending thousands on the new Apple monitors. Looking for 27” size. Thanks for recommendations!

I'm about to go freelance and need some advice on how to set my rates, how to have a proper contract, etc. How did you all get started? Be nice! Thanks

Current place I'm at wants to extend me. Thing is I had already (verbally) agreed to another place. But other place is less $, less time, though more "prestige". Stay or go?

Does anyone else struggle with being a freelancer while also being a natural leader? I always feel in freelance roles that they would prefer I just shut up (even though my ideas have been praised and implemented plenty), esp within my own dept. In a full-time role, taking charge is expected, but I'm feeling like I should just sit back and take orders vs trying to be proactive or having thoughts in a freelance role.

Anyone have any advice on who to contact for merch/apparel related gigs? Preferably in the music or sports industry. Recommendations for agencies that focus on this are also greatly appreciated!

Does anyone here freelance (in design or deckmaking) on top of their full time position? How does that work?

How do you go about driving up business as a freelancer? I used to search for email contacts but I’ve started to connect more on linkedin and IG

Hi there! Has anyone freelanced up at VMLY&R or Wunderman Thompson lately? I’m wondering if they will pay your LLC.

Looking for a freelancer in a New York or LA to join our team of creative sales representatives for the photo/film industry. Any recommendations of where i could post more about the position?

Any 100% remote PM positions out there?
I’m kicking back 10k for the referrer at 30Days in. I travel between Canada and Mexico.

Recently started freelancing and working from home and realized that I really need a quality office chair cause my current one is killing my back. Any suggestions below $500 if possible?

Have you ever shut down a project after verbally agreeing to do it, but before they sign the contract? I’m really torn, the project manager has been a nightmare and we’re on day two.

Have you ever asked a FT gig if you could freelance instead of going FT either to test out the agency/team or to wait out a better offer?

Any insights are appreciated.

I know the day rate the Chicago office of a large agency paid a friend with equivalent experience to me. Safe to add 100 to that for my rate in the NY office or nah?

Hi... I am T2 consulting manager based in London. Urgently need of a paid work. Can someone connect me to some recruiter/agencies for freelancing etc ?

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.
