If you work OT (on an hourly FT FL contract) do you actually bill for it, or just suck it up? Ofc you have to get it approved first, but do you have any success with that?

Anything over 40 hrs is 1.5x your hourly rate. If you’re normally billing $100/hr than you bill $150/hr for anything above 40 hrs.

You get paid, period. This is mandated by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA),

Always bill.

The minute you hit 40, flag it and ask if they want you to continue. They will ask a projected amount of hours and 10/10 approve

You explain your rate structure when you’re asked for your rate. Not sooner and not later.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
