CORPDEV professionals - I’d like to do a quick salary survey here if y’all don’t mind as I haven’t found a good place to benchmark salaries. Can you all share your YoE, total comp (base + bonus + equity / stock options), location, and size of company. I’ll go first - 10 YOE, 180K + 20% + $250K in options, Atlanta, and PE backed $100M company. TIA!

I heard from my head that there is a lot of slowdown in VW Germany... There is Hiring freeze, level freeze and all ... And soon that will spillover to india. So be prepared for very less hikes in coming cycle :( Also automotive sector in general is struggling with tesla laying off 10% workforce recently. Maybe time to make a move? What do you say fishes?

Graduating Ph.D. program 2021, received offer from tiny boutique for 140TC+random small boutique benefits. Would be better commute, non metro area closer to home. Waiting to hear back from well known life science boutique (think ZS, Clearview, Putnam). Offer would be for NYC office, would likely relocate.

If offer is given, a) at what $ is this worth and b) is brand everything for first firm out of school?

Also would the life science boutiques reasonably pay more than that?

Is anybody here a notary? And how much are you making from that? Is it a potential side-hustle?

Hi fishes, what's the fixed range for B30 Engineer 2?

I joined a new consulting firm and have been here for 6 months. Recently, a SaaS client (1k employees) that hired my old consulting firm reached out to me about a job opening - Lead BA working primarily to implement their benefit admin system for insurance companies. My current TC is 95k. Is it worth making the jump if the offer is north of 110k? Anything I should look out for? The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.

FDD during an economic downturn?

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off. Additionally I’ve had a couple interviews where company “X” interviewers have commented on this and in an effort to not bad mouth my previous employer I’m stuck with a generic answer like I want to take my career to the next level with Company “X.” Any thoughts/advice?

Is anyone's agency currently looking for a Senior or ACD position?

I got an offer at Nokia, and my new manager said that she wanted to put me in the higher salary bracket however the HR insisted that we lowered the range. That caused me to receive a much lower salary than expected. Should I renegotiate even when my manager said that she tried giving me more. Does HR really play that big of a role in this?

I feel like I haven't seen the results of our efforts. The Middle East is still a mess. There's a war in Europe we won't take part in. Does anyone else feel this way?

This debate would be a lot more watchable if the moderator can press the mute button on each of the candidate.

Anyone currently freelancing for a big tech co? Dying for some tips / hints on how to get my foot in the door...!

Hi friends, happy new year! Wondering if anyone else is finding it slow in the freelance world (agency production specifically) right now? I usually get hit up constantly but it’s been pretty quiet the past two weeks or so.

Average day rate for an EP contemplating a freelance role as an Interactive Prod at a FAANG co.?! Got more than a decade of experience managing global integrated programs for many top brands 😬

Fresh thread for a rate check amongst us producers?

I want a raise but think agencies will scoff. At $1200 and want to bump up to $1300.

17 yrs broadcast/video, some awards, agency, brand and post experience.

Day rate v. Hourly I currently accepted a rate for 20 hours a week, which I don’t like doing because I always end up working more. How do you define your hours in these instances and make it known that they aren’t paying you to be available all day long?

Anyone looking for a remote freelance senior producer? Video content focused.

Coming up for air and hearing of looming freelance/contractor opportunities. DM me if you’re a senior producer and interested and and available for a gig in-house, brand-side for a cable/tech project. Fast paced, all remote, but team is on East Coast so those would be the hours.

I am booked on a month-long gig at a great agency and another not as good agency just reached out to book me for a three month gig. The agency I am at has said they could possibly extend me and they just put me on a TV campaign that ships mid March But haven’t definitely said they are extending me past the initial month booking. Would it be bad form to say to the agency I am currently at that another agency wants to book me for three months and ask them to book me for two more months

Thank you Fishbowl - 👁 ❤️ 🐠

Outside of networking, what are some of your favorite ways to get freelance gigs? LinkedIn? Freelancer? Other apps/websites?
My full-time gig is transitioning into a part-time gig, and with everything changing so quickly, I wanted to ask to see if there’s anything new. Thanks friends!

Looking for a producer for helping me to scope a branding (traditional+digital) and digital experience (mainly UI look and feel) project. Will need help with creating timelines as well. Would appreciate hearing from people with experience on these areas.

Hi There, I’m a Senior freelance Digital PM/Producer based out of Toronto, Canada. I figure with remote work being the norm now, there would be more opportunity to collaborate with US agencies. Has anyone had the experience of doing this? I know some agencies have strict hiring protocol but I am incorporated. Any advice would help! Thank you

Boston based producer/director/DP here! Specializing in crazy deadlines and last minute travel.

Any digital producers out there who are savvy with DCO? Remote assignment for a Brand through EOY. DM me if that’s you!

Not sure if this has been discussed yet, but do you charge tax on your freelance, 1099 invoices? Trying to accommodate for taxes being taken out and inflation 😪 would love to know if this is common practice - I’m in NYC. Thanks!

After freelancing for years and doing well, would you consider a full time job? It's really hard to give up the flexibility of freelance, but... also hard to give up having a 401k match again. Salary would be similar to freelance money, but less time off. Thoughts?

How do you choose which production company to work with? ie. What are the characteristics or criteria you look for when making your decision? What makes you trust that company?
