I just had a freelance gig cancelled for next week. Is there any point reaching out to people on a Friday asking if anyone needs a little remote help with strategy or account/project management for 5 days? Even a bit of cash is better than no cash but not sure anyone’s going to be able to pull a trigger quick enough for such a short time to be worth the desperate tone my note would have. Could also Turo my car or something.

Can’t hurt. And as you move forward, be sure to negotiate a kill/cancel fee in your contract so you don’t have to go through this again.

I freelance for holding company agencies a lot. Has anybody asked the recruiter/resource manager who is bringing you in/emailing you the contract to add a kill fee to the contract? I feel like the contract always says they can let me go “at will.”

Definitely reach out. You never know.

Has anyone had any experience with Water Street Partners for lateral recruiting? Reached out to me cold with a few ideas and I’ve had two follow up emails and a call with an MD at reputable banks, but it all seems very sketchy. For instance an “HR Specialist” reached out to me to set up a call, but when I look her up on LinkedIn she’s a IB VP. The MD I spoke to named a few other people he was going to have reach out, but haven’t heard from either of them. Just doesn’t feel like a normal process

Does anyone have experience interviewing with Deloitte Internal Services? I had my final interview a week and a half ago, and received positive feedback throughout.

The role still shows as “Interviews in Process.” We did discuss potential start dates, but no salary. Any experience with receiving offers for an internal services role? Is this common?
