Slowed down in Chicago. Was nuts all year so kind of a welcome break but I understand the nervousness.

Good time to start that personal project you’ve been meaning to do. Usually once I get settled into something fun, the emails start coming. It’s like they know.

Same for me in Chicago. This year was bananas but I’d rather be busy than have a break. Time to help with some directors cuts…

It’s getting slow. Some of it is year-end slow down as agency budgets run out. Brands getting nerves about the economy is another part.

Staff should have 3 months expenses set aside. Freelance should have 6 months. We went through a long boom and I think a lot of freelancers took for granted how unstable it can be.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?
