What is your skill set?

Like any other job, stress levels and work arrangements can vary even within teams. But my life is way more relaxed than what it was when I was in Advisory traveling all the time.

My skill sets: communications, storytelling , project management , change management, data analysis and reporting (not expert but pretty well versed)

I’m in marketing. Travel is about 20% of the time. Work from home the rest of the time. Hours generally from 8am to 5:30pm most days, occasionally longer. Very rarely on weekends.

Hey guys, I’m a freelance broadcast producer and I’ve spent most of my career working for larger agencies. I’m doing something for a smaller agency and they want the production company to hide costs in their bid and then have production bill the client the inflated amount directly and pay the hidden costs to the agency. The agency is calling it a “consultation fee” but client just thinks production costs more. Is that common and I just haven’t experienced it before? Or is this a big red flag?
