If you freelance at one spot for a while but switch to a new location for a higher rate even though the original wanted to extend you, is that considered burning a bridge? Or can you go back later?

New location meaning new agency? It depends on if you actually burn the bridge. Don’t leave in the middle of a project — everyone would be pissed because it’d take time to get a replacement for you up to speed. If your project is done and they want to put you on another, it’s ok to say “I’m sorry, I’m not available. But let’s stay in touch because I’d love to come back when I am."

Art Directors. How protective are you of your references and resources? I have a folder with lot’s of textures, mockups that I’ve spent time building. I even paid for some of those assets. So I always get a lot of compliments on my comps and decks. Sometimes someone ask for my files and I really don’t want to since I put so much effort on that. But I also feel bad being gatekeeper of things.
