If you freelanced somewhere and wrote scripts that got produced, but weren’t kept on for production, should you still expect to be credited?

Yes you should dawg.
I’ve produced projects that I was on from development through delivery and PR, and people who hadn’t been with the agency for that whole time got credited for their seed of an idea– and it’s right that they did.
Stay in touch people at the agency and make sure to get on that credit list!

Like in the press release? No, I don't really expect it. It would be kind of weird for an agency to PR itself by saying, "hey, check out this work we did that we didn't actually do because the people who did it don't actually work here!" I mean, I'll still put it in my book, but we sign up to be ghost writers the minute we start working for ourselves as freelancers.

Yes absolutely. And you can and should absolutely ask. Bring receipts

Even if they’ve changed the script slightly, or they didn’t execute it well, or they left you out in the credit that everyone can see in the press, it’s still yours to include in your portfolio.

What are read receipts?

My rule for credits is: if my dad had worn a condom on the day of my conception, would this idea still exist? If the answer is “no” then I put it on portfolio.

Depending on the contract. Freelance contracts are a lot more detail these days (sometimes too detail). But even if you are not credited in an Award listing, the team should mention you in other sources such as when they are being interviewed, etc. In any case, there’s no harm to ask to be included.

Yes. 1000X yes

Is a daily 1.5 hour commute (total) worth a more supportive work environment and better benefits?
Thinking of jumping ship after just 6 months in a fully remote position for an in-house, in person job where expectation is 5d/week in person. Commute would be around 90minutes/day in interstate. Better salary, good 401k match, parental leave (20 weeks paid), 4wks PTO, and a very big name for the resume. 3 YOE. But I love the flexibility of remote work, so struggling to decide.

Any insight???

How would you go about finding a remote AE role with a 100k base?

I have about 7-8 years of sales experience and have consistently out performed my OTE. I absolutely love my current role but I feel like I have out grown the company as there isn't a ton of opportunity to make more than I am currently making.

I opened up my LinkedIn to recruiters but all the offers are 60-70k base and 120-140k OTE. I am shooting for MINIMUM 80k base but ideally 100k or more.

What would you do?
