Have any of you ever started a gig somewhere and been like, WTF did I just walk into 👀? Don’t get me wrong places have been typical ad agencies but somehow this gig I just started has like layers and layers of drama and shit that I feel like I was dropped into the middle of (stealing work, turf wars, passive aggressive snips on calls). Honestly have never wanted to run for the hills more. Really don’t know how to navigate, am trying to stay out of it but the partner I was given is deep in it.

What is the average salary for a senior business analyst or a product owner at insurance companies?

I’m thinking purchasing a standing desk. Anybody have recommendations on brand? Your experience?

Home office preference question. I am getting ready to redo the layout of my home office. One option I'm considering would have my desk facing a wall. I am wondering if anyone with this current setup has any feedback about it. I would face the wall so that I would have a better background for video conferences (am on about half the day) and also my cord situation would be cleaner.

Anybody know if and how much I can contribute to my Roth IRA to reduce my 2020 tax liability? I’m trying to pay less taxes but Jesus this pandemic has been great for my law firm and salary.

Plaintiffs PI attorneys, how many cases on average are you assigned to at any given time?

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month. Not sure whether it’s appropriate to request time off for a new job (I would’ve preferred not to take any time off for first three months). I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.

Hi All. Question regarding HDPI (GSC Bangalore). Can someone shed light on the relocation benefits external hires get at GCB 6? Also, are these fixed or can we negotiate on these as well? I'd appreciate an urgent response if possible.

I had some major life events this year for which I had to take a large chunk of time off, and with half the year already gone, I’m getting worried about making the hours for my bonus. Is it always an “all or nothing” or do firms give prorated bonuses in certain situations?

Buying new home first time in Austin, what you recommend to do 10% down payment or 20%. If I do 20% then saving around 60k in a year. Considering inflation is coming and house prices is going down day by day.

What benefit you love most at your firm?

Any estimates on salaries at Capital One for a Manager position with the Enterprise Payments and Oversight team?

Guys I know this is very common question. Just in search of better answer. What is the best reply to a relative asking us the salary inspite of we giving them the other overshadowing excuses?

Time to update the website. Squarespace? Any other recommendations or tips? Thanks!

I’ve come to a point where I just started at the green dot on my laptop camera when talking. I want to do the Errol Morris interrotron to get some sort of connection. The lack of eye contact or staring off to the side from other participants makes me think they have high anxiety or on the spectrum like rain man.

Anyone looking for a good accountant for freelancers? (I have one.)

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.

Freelance social media managers: how to you charge for your services? What deliverables are included? What’s your rate?

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!

On the verge of turning an hourly client into a retainer. Any tips?

Fellow freelance ADs! What are typically the slowest months of your year?

How has anybody had luck with getting freelance account gigs? Been silent in LA

Question: what’s best practice for LinkedIn? Listing all the agencies you’ve freelanced at in your description, or having each stint in your job history?

Friendly reminder folks- don’t work for Havas Health and You. They cut the freelancers hourly rates, again and made it so there’s no OT. The resource manager at HOV said if I couldn’t swing $80 an hour as an HCP copywriter, she’d have to find someone else. Good luck 👍🏻

Not sure if anyone is gonna be down for this but i know of a writing gig with a rate of $60-$80/hr. It’s mainly website copy for a web3 company so it could be good to get that experience. DM if you’re interested.

Trying to avoid paying an accountant, can I actually write off home office space/mileage if I was just permalancing for 3 months last year? Shouldn’t the 7 months of W2 take care of this 1099 shit?

Recently got a contract job at Facebook NY. I’ve mostly only been a FTE for the entirety of my career, so a bit nervous as I want to eventually be offered FT but feeling a lot of pressure to perform for the next 5 months to prove my worth. At some point it will surely get exhausting. Any tips for how to deal with this? Also curious to know what a mid-level PM normally gets paid as a freelancer?

Wanted to get y’all’s opinion. If you haven’t been paid by the time agreed upon in your contract what do you think is the appropriate follow up email cadence?

Do you ever want to kick yourself for taking on a small client?
