How do you handle it when a client that you have a monthly retainer with, an agreed upon amount of money per month (not in writing) but one month they don’t use you nearly as much? Bill the same anyway and risk alienating them, or give them a discount this month and leave money on the table to retain the relationship?

Got a callback with a v50 after a screener last week. Extremely busy and everyone is always on my ass about what I'm doing when I'm not logged in. What are the best ways to take a half-day off after taking a half-day already last week?

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up). The problem is that they’re looking to staff me as a Senior when I’m currently a Manager at DT. They said they’re flexible on title, but curious to hear how others have navigated similar situations. I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...

I currently work in Private (GA) Aviation & have for some time (about 12 years) I’m currently making the switch to the Department of Aviation and am unsure if I should ditch my current job (in private) and go full force with the DOA & embrace this new opportunity educationally and gather as much experience as I can or keep both jobs even though I’d be working 80hr weeks.. I love the private world but am really ready to move up. I don’t know what I should do. Any suggestions?

I can’t stand our open office so every day I go to the bathroom and hide out for 15 minutes of sanity/checking my apps so people can’t see me “not doing work” in public.

Why do things escalate so quickly at the end of my shift? Ugh - I feel like this is the Murphy's law of medicine.

For those starting school this fall, how early is too early to start stressing about what you want to recruit for? Am a sponsored consultant but don’t think I want to go back 😬

I’ve been dabbling with the idea of getting into copywriting as something to soon the side but I have no experience doing it. What steps should I take (books to read, gigs to start with or pursue, etc) if I want to go from $0 and next to ) experience to $40k or so a year?

Right now I’m currently unemployed and taking a break from my fine art stuff to try to get back into tech sales, but I was looking to expand my skill set and also generate extra money at the same time.

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

Is your hourly rate based on a 40 hour or 50 hour work week? I ‘d like to make my day rate at 40 hours, but wasn’t sure if that was standard. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

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!

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.

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?

Any account people successfully make the switch to freelance? How do you find the gigs?

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

If you have an agency job, do you list your title, plus “freelancer” on LI? Nervous this would be a sure sign to my agency that I’m moonlighting. Or is that okay?

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 👍🏻

At what point do we publicly announce a minimum day rate under which no freelancer will go? The news this week about what C-level titles are paid is sickening. This is feudalism. Surfs unite!

Are there any free invoice sending and tracking tools? I’m currently using google sheets but feel like there has to be an easier way.

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 :)

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!
