Hello Fishes,

I have been getting mails like increase in revenue of 7.5% for IBM in this quarter. Can we expect bonus under growth driven profit policy?

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

Digital EP in NYC - 12+ years experience at lots of big and notable agencies - I’m entertaining a freelance role now and leaving the full time world - Am I crazy for asking for a $150 an hour?

Does anyone know of a coworking spaces that focus on creatives and/or marketing companies? All the ones I know of like technexus, wework and 1871 in Chicago are tech company focused.

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

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 👍🏻

How often do y’all adjust your rates? I’m fairly new to freelancing but I’m getting a ton of interest. The company I’m with met my rate with no negotiation, which signals I might be selling myself short. Is it uncool to ask for more if they want to extend my contract? Or is it better to just end with them and ask for more from the next company?

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!

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?

I've been meeting with recruiters from staffing agencies and the freelance rates I'm being told are super low. What rates hourly/daily are you getting for ACD/art in NYC??

Question to freelancers: why?
What are the benefits and the odds of being a freelancer and how did you make that choice?

Have you ever regretted your choice?

When you’re asked about your rate, do you include weekend / holiday rates upfront? Or do you wait until it comes up after you’ve started? New to this, so please be kind.

Emergency question!! Sending over an invoice to a client. We are both in mass. Do I charge tax on a digital delivery? I did on my last two but now I’m questioning it. Help!

Is their an agency freelancer/ staffer blacklist?

Mainly production, but just curious if anyone is aware of such a thing. Thanks in advance

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.

Question: what’s best practice for LinkedIn? Listing all the agencies you’ve freelanced at in your description, or having each stint in your job history?
