Hello US fish!
What advice would you give a London-based writer/CD/ECD looking to work (remotely) for US-based clients? I’m relocating to Costa Rica for a few months next year so trying to make the time difference work. I don’t mind what sectors but, ideally, short-term writing gigs. Any tips on approaching clients/agencies? Which recruiters are worth reaching out to or are they all in league with Satan? Should I just give up now and get a job counting turtles? Thx

I finished up with final interviews on Monday. Is it a bad sign that I’m still waiting to hear back today? Don’t companies typically reach out almost immediately with an offer if they choose you?

How did your interview go with JP guys?. Easy? Medium? Or difficult?.. please comment

EY application has turned to “We'd like to progress you to the next step in our recruiting process”. How soon does communication begin and typically how long is the process?

I think I bombed a case interview with Chartis for an associate consultant position. The case was in excel and required me to manipulate the data via share screen with the interviewer. I couldn’t get some functions to work and was struggling to go through the 16 page PDF of data. I had several answers correct but needed to walk through the remaining questions with some guidance. My other 3 case interviews went well and I had great conversation with the partner for behavioral interview. Thoughts?

Happy Monday afternoon to everyone except to those recruiters who ghost job seekers 👻

Hi fishes,
I was selected for a l3 role via IJP in the 1st week of may and the hiring manager informed me via email that i had been selected for the role and requested confirmation to proceed with offer letter generation. I didn't hear anything from HM after that. When can I expect to receive an internal offer letter? Should I contact HM to know about the status ? Please provide some insights. TIA :)

Hello everyone!! I have been interviewing with AlixPartners and have my case interview coming up in a week and a half.. any advice on prep, what to expect, anything else I need to know would be really helpful..

Thank you and cheers

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!

My mentors (partner & senior) have scheduled a feedback meeting with me on Wednesday. It’s not just me, they’re scheduling meetings with everyone so I’m probably keeping my job. Thing is, I’ve been incredibly frustrated with the firm - I’m buried in work and billing like crazy, but there’s zero transparency on financials and zero communication on bonuses (...)

Should I disclose or hide the fact that I am on maternity leave? I have an interview with a big law firm in NY. I’m currently working for a law firm in Atlanta. I imagine I will be asked whether I have returned to the office or working remotely from NY. My husband and I have been living in New York since the pandemic to be near family. My current firm asked everyone to go back last week but since I am on leave I didn’t have to. I want to avoid lying without jeopardizing my chances.

Got assigned to manage a midweight who isn’t very helpful and now seems not to be very responsive. I actually need them to step up because the work to be done is enormous. Does anyone have any tips? Since I’ve only met them remotely, I don’t know if this is lack of skill, insecurity, or if they think they can get away with it bc they’re dealing with a freelancer.

On a gig with an end date but a hold for the following week. Got strong interest from a place that wants me to break the hold (not the booking) is a longer gig and is offering more $$. Advice?

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

Got offered a freelance job thats $200 below my usual rate. Its for a pitch. Is it fair if I tell them that Im happy with the rate for a 10 hour work day but afterwards, I’d charge for OT?

Has anyone started an S-corp and later gone full time? Husband has been freelancing full time since last summer. Initially we thought it would be six months before converting to FT, but he’s been extended as an independent contractor until 2023. Ideally that sticks because he’s making north of $300k but he’s been hesitant to go S-corp in case they decide to make him convert. What happens to the S-corp in that scenario?

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.
