I was working with outstanding freelance CDs that were talented and really get it. Conceptual thinkers, with fresh ideas and better than full time CDs.

They were let go because they are old.

While I agree their gig ended because of a lavish day rate, hasn’t anyone wondered why so many of us over 40 are freelancers? I am a freelancer, but not by choice. I was forced into it because I was laid off.

That is untrue. I guarantee it. Stop saying dumb shit like this- it minimizes actual ageism.

They were let go because with experience and success comes bigger salaries. Ageism is a real problem as us older folks make all the money. My freelance friends are mostly over 40 and killing it in the freelance world. We make every job look easy and fun. That’s why we get hired over younger peeps.

This feels odd. You said they were freelance. They probably were not let go for age. That said, sorry your friends lost their jobs. It sounds like you got a gift in that you saw how much better the talent can be if you look. Maybe you should look?

You sure they weren’t just let go because their freelance project ended, or the agency realized that hemorrhaging money for two incredibly expensive freelancers was not a financially sound decision? And I say this as an older freelancer

Exactly, I don’t care how fresh you are, at $2500 a day you’re out the door the second I don’t need you. It’s business.

For all of you that think this is “odd”, just listen CD3 for a second.

They supposed to be hired as full time. They wanted. But they were “expensive”.

How would switching to big 4 tech consulting at 2 YOE look for mba applications? Would it hurt? Looking to matriculate 2023 or 2024 but don't want this move to hurt me if I do it.

FAANG (or MANGA) companies seem to be the holy grail for lots of people exiting BIG4 or even banking/consulting types looking for finance analyst type roles in industry.

Anecdotally, the pay & culture seems good at those companies, but are there significant cons to "finance analyst" type roles in those orgs which would deter you from working from them? (I.e work hours, progression etc?)

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?

I am expecting an offer from Master Card for Senior Software Engineer position in O Fallon MO. Please let me know what kind of base salary I can expect with 11 yrs experience . I don’t wanna undersell but also trying to avoid being aggressive but quote a decent number which will be achievable. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Is 125k $ base a fair value for or I can pitch higher? They have a 15 to 20 % bonus on top of base pay and a 10% match on 401k which the recruiter keep highlighting.
