I live in South Florida. What should I charge as a freelance senior level graphic designer per hour, and day rate? I’ve always been full time, so I haven’t had the experience pricing myself out like this. The job description bringing up my question is “executional… designing organic posts from specific established creative (headlines and brand assets) and templates.” If that helps you help me.

I am looking to leave my current position due to not having the opportunity to run campaigns and earn experience.
However, every interview I get asked about the campaigns that I have run.
This is starting to feel like a closed loop. Any ideas are appreciated.

I do create some personal campaigns and do social media content on LinkedIn for my personal profile. That is why I get a high number of interviews but I stumble at the starting line.

Hi All, a friend of mine is actively looking for job in Wealth management field. She holds 8 years of experience in the same. Any Referals for similar opening would be appreciated.

Typical days on a difficult project with a difficult partner

My fiancé will NOT stop talking about her ex. After I found out they were texting arguing she justified it by saying it was about the dogs and not them. Even though Her social media is full of his pics. She still sends him $50 a month for dog food, still goes to work right by his place and suspiciously needs keys. I try to bring it up and I get dismantled for being too mean and making “false accusations.” How much more obvious can it be?

My gf and me call each other everytime we have free time. However lately she seems disinterested in phone time. She never initiates calls anymore and she tells me she wants to hang up in the middle of the day and not right before bedtime. We live a 4 hour drive apart. And I told her this is like living together from a distance, because I put her on the house speakers. What can I do to keep her engaged?

I have gotten a verbal offer from Facebook, but I just had my phone screen interview with the hiring manager at Amazon yesterday. I want to reach out to the recruiter at Amazon and let them know what the timeline looks like. I would much rather have the Amazon job over the Facebook one. But I’m afraid if I decline Facebook then Amazon won’t happen. I’m just completely lost.

Where are my consulting /advisory people at ? Does anyone feel like not much work coming there way but some pressure to still be billable ? I’m getting an odd vibe lately but could just be me

Hi guys ,
Which is best among CGI and HCL for automation testing role?

Are consultants at MBB allowed to trade individual stocks? Or are they limited to mutual funds only? For example, can someone at McKinsey buy AAPL?

Tier 2 to MBB fish... How has recruiting for other jobs compare at the two firms?

What do you think would be the best office & sector to work in ?

How often do you all review your rates? I’m 6 months into partnership and my rate is the same as it was two years ago when I started at this firm as a 4th year (currently had a license just over 6 years and the 5.5 I’ve been in practice are all domestic relations)

From which month revised salary ( which is done during the end of the pay cycle) is credited to the employees in deloitte india

I’m looking for some new things to read or listen to — doesn’t need to be ad-related. Books, podcasts, whaddya got?
I’m not really into fiction, but open to anything. Last books I enjoyed were Junior and Moonwalking with Einstein, last podcast I binged was Startup (Gimlet).

If the open office concept is so great for collaboration why does everyone wear gigantic noise cancelling headphones to try to ignore everyone around them?

Any advice for presenting somebody else’s work? I’ve been stretched thin on different projects but have to present in place of some of on vacation with little time to prepare.

How long can you go without having anything to do before you get laid off?

Is it weird when a 3rd party recruiter you’ve never met constantly calls you out of the blue? No set up...no “hey are you free at noon?” Just random phone calls while I’m at work.

If I’m 6 years in, and the stars haven’t aligned for any (real) awards yet, am I screwed? I’m making fun work but am at a shop that doesn’t prioritize awards, how do I get into one of the greats?

Serious question - which one lasts longer: real Donald Trump or Marcel?

Why are Product Design portfolios so boring? Has anyone seen a good one lately?

Dear KBS, today we received 17 all agency emails. Yesterday it was 20. Surely upper management has a better way to use their time. Make it stop. Love, KBS

Anyone here knows agency/in-house that do O1 Visa? for JAD with one year experience.. My next jump would make me an AD possibly.

Thoughts on CP+B Boulder? What is the vibe like there? Who are the clients?

What is the Netflix employees email format?

Shoutout to the recruiter who ghosted on a meeting they setup! Gotta love the professionalism 👏

@Long-time creative freelancers, please enlighten the masses about why you might make a better staff hire than say, someone with nearly all staff role experience. Help clear up this weird prejudice.

What’s the biggest difference between junior and mid creatives?

How many months in is it normal to hate a new job vs you've given it a long enough chance to know it's a wrong fit?

“have fun with this brief” they say before telling you the client is pretty conservative and needs to have safer options.

i know we don’t always work on stuff we’re thrilled about but i’ve never dreaded reviews for a client before until now

Who has more earning potential: Creatives or Producers? Talking about two aspects: mid-career salary and lifetime earning potential? I feel like producers peak earlier but creatives have higher max?
