Hi,

We are looking for React Native Developer who have worked on Banking/Finance project or applications.

Its pune bases company
Relevant Experience :3.5

Motions
I work in a midsize firm and we have the basic subscription to westlaw, which doesn’t include the ability to see filed briefs, motions, etc without incurring additional costs. I’m wondering if there is a service in the NJ/PA area that gives you access to previously filed motions and briefs? So if I’m drafting a summary judgment I could search the service and find a similar one. If this doesn’t exist.. I think I found the next million dollar idea lol

Hi all, starting this thread to understand salary benchmarks with 7-8 years of experience in pharma.

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.

Has anyone successfully proposed and negotiated a move from full-time at an agency to freelance? Would love to hear about both positive and negative experiences!

If I contribute to a solo 401k, is the additional profit-sharing contribution (the 25% of compensation after the $19500 contribution) based on my gross income, or is it based on gross income minus expenses? Thank you🙏🏼

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.

3 freelance inquiries in one day. All 3 about how they need someone with my specific experience, all 3 offering half my usual hourly rate. I said OK since I'm not booked. After telling me to "hang tight" all three ghosted.

I enjoy being asked for samples when I featured my website 3 times through email. In the body, my signature and my resume. I spend 100~/year on it. It has my entire portfolio... 😒😒😒

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

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 👍🏻

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

Massachusetts freelance but go to NY/travel for work occasionally. I am looking at marketplace insurance and leaning towards a Tufts plan. Anyone have problems with Tufts? The BCBS higher cost but there does not appear to be a good reason. I’m afraid of some of the smaller places/never heard of. Transitioning off Cobra with United Health. Anyone have advice?

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.

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

Any advice on how to get clients to pay your invoice on time / what to do when they don't? I'm currently working with an agency who agreed to net 30 terms, but has been late with every invoice so far...It's probably a lost cause on this particular job, but Im wondering if there's anything I can do in the future to avoid this situation. Does anyone charge a fee when invoices aren't paid on time? Or is this just par for the freelance life?

All of my writers are busy. Went FT, family stuff, already booked. I had to leave a 5 week contract on the table because I don’t have a deep enough writer pool. I’m 17 years in the biz, have awards and primarily do TV and Digital. CD/AD. Anyone interested in building a professional partnership? Let me know.

Is LA the worst right now or am I just the worst?

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!

Anyone looking for short term freelance support the next 2 weeks, my schedule opened up. Background; new business pitches, data driven strategy, research and analytics. Unlike most analysts, I work well with creatives :)

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?
