How do you select your hourly rate? Here is my challenge: I can choose a rate that competes with similar rates in my country, however it feels like they are significantly above average in an international pool like as on upwork and similar platforms.

They probably are higher than on Upwork. I don't even look at rates on there or Fiverr. Those platforms are seriously damaging the freelance industry, especially for professional writers and designers in the US and Europe who can't compete with the rate of some in 3rd world countries.

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?

How do you expect to receive direction from PWC?

Do you, or do you expect, a PWC manager to direct your day-to-day services or are you given an end goal and expected to meet that end goal with limited supervision?

Advising a startup that addressing the issue of focus and switching tasks due to the proliferation of cloud tools to promote focus and "Indistractability."

There is also a very generous referral program right now. Feel free to DM me if interested in the platform. How do you currently manage these issues?

For freelancer that work with multiple clients at once. Do you have any tools to manage calendars across different emails? Ideally, when I get a meeting invite from one client it would block my availability on my other accounts.
