I started a job at a startup right after Labor Day. Was told the Friday before Thanksgiving that it was ending at the end of November (due to some internal politics that had to be figured out, they decided to get rid of my new role)

I don’t want to job hunt again, after just starting a new role and am debating freelancing. Has anyone made a successful career by freelancing in non-creative roles? Specifically digital strategy & analytics.

People freelance in all departments successfully. But if you do job hunt don’t let the time in your last role hold you back, just label that as freelance on your resume.

After 5 years of freelancing (which I have loved) I am considering a full-time gig. Although COVID is in the back of my mind, this is more about what I’ve been lacking since FL: consistent team, seeing an idea all the way through, challenging myself to grow, being exposed to latest tech trends to better my ideas... I know I can always go back to FL if FT doesn’t work out, but curious where others’ heads are at these days. Am I crazy to consider going back to the golden shackles?

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
