Ameriprise vs Raymond James. Is the larger upfront from Ameriprise worth it if transitioning from a wirehouse at 500k production all fee based? Or does the culture at RJ be a larger consideration?

Many of the teachers I work with have great relationships with their co-teacher, but one team is really struggling. What can I do to help them get along?

BA friends - Music contracts.
We’ve been having issues getting final signed contracts back from publishers/labels prior to ads going live. Legal teams at the majors are soooo sloooow.
Anyone else having this issue? What’s the solution?

From reading a number of books and listening to a number of podcasts about starting a business, one underlying factor they all share is to have deep passion for what you do. How do you know what your passion is? I mean I think a lot about golf but i don’t think that’s a passion. It’s my hobby. I think most people just know.

Thoughts on living in Newport/waterfront JC?

Anyone have trouble getting in contact with Deloitte’s immigration team? They never seem to respond over email. Is there another way to reach them?

Freelance design fish:
What’s an appropriate budget for a designer to make a boilerplate agency creds deck gorgeous? (exactly 20 slides)
Small agency without brand guidelines.

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 👍🏻

I’ve come to a point where I just started at the green dot on my laptop camera when talking. I want to do the Errol Morris interrotron to get some sort of connection. The lack of eye contact or staring off to the side from other participants makes me think they have high anxiety or on the spectrum like rain man.

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 ?

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??

Freelance social media managers: how to you charge for your services? What deliverables are included? What’s your rate?

Is there a list of agencies and clients that don’t pay on time or at all? If not, can we start one here?

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... 😒😒😒

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.

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?

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?

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.

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?

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.

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 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.

What’s the longest an agency has kept you waiting in reception on your first day of a gig?

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!
