If a recruiter reached out to me saying that they’re looking for ADs to partner with solo CWs, do I assumed they’ve looked at my linkedin/portfolio and know that im a CD (I know how freelance works, I’m usually a hands on). Or do I not make any assumptions? They asked for my rate so I’m curious if they’re going to be taken aback since it’s at the cd level.

The other reason I want to clarify is because I’m tired of partnering with people who aren’t at my level and reporting into people who are.

A recruiter is going to want to slash your rate in half. Avoid them. Go around them. Don’t box/limit yourself in with a rate upfront.

Yeah they will probably know and if they don’t, when you give them your rate, they’ll quickly figure it out.

what’s your rate/city?

Oh buddy, you haven't been freelance long, have you? They are at your level. And that person you're reporting into is an ACD and they are above you now.

Yeah I have. In this case, the recruiter specifically said they’re looking for ADs to partner with solo full time CWs. For context, I didn’t reach out.

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.
