How do you mentally deal with the stress of this work and these (demanding Wall Street) clients? I’m a senior m&a associate leading multiple deals and every client wants a quick turn around and response times around the clock which is impossible to keep up for each one. I feel like im not giving the best service even though I’m working late nights and weekends.

Back to freelance after being FT 4 years. Is it better to be partnered up to get gigs or is solo viable? Does anyone hire freelance CDs or are you copy/art first and CD as an honorific only?

New to freelance after being laid off as a junior. Was promised a month of work at a smaller shop with weekly rate. I’m two days in, and have had ZERO work to do. Will they let me go after this week?

What was the process like the first time you went freelance? How did you set your rate?
