Trying to find a very nice weekender/duffle for my boyfriend. Price isn’t a concern- I’d like good value for $$ however! Not opposed to any brand (designer or otherwise).

Hi All,

Anyone who got retained recently in LTI, please let me know, need some help.

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)

Surprisingly the Moonwatch felt smaller (even though it’s 42mm vs 41mm Aqua terra) but I’m not sure about the manual wind tbh - worried I’d break it

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!

What would you pick and why?

Any thoughts on Metyis as a strategy consultancy? They were previously known as YGroup and have recently rebranded.
Would love to hear from anyone that knows them or has worked for them in the past.

I’m 30. My friends’ weddings are piling up and I’m just... still very much single. Feel like it’s acceptable in NYC but also sorta depressing. Dating is hard.

Partners - do recruiters/headhunters ever reach out to you? What types of roles/levels do they reach out for?

When you independently search for other opportunities (if you do), what types of roles do you look for?

Anyone know, how does the KPMG interview day look like?

Any account people successfully make the switch to freelance? How do you find the gigs?

On the verge of turning an hourly client into a retainer. Any tips?

Me on a date

Her: So what do you do?

Me: I’m a freelance writer

Her: (crickets)

Current place I'm at wants to extend me. Thing is I had already (verbally) agreed to another place. But other place is less $, less time, though more "prestige". Stay or go?

Does anyone else struggle with being a freelancer while also being a natural leader? I always feel in freelance roles that they would prefer I just shut up (even though my ideas have been praised and implemented plenty), esp within my own dept. In a full-time role, taking charge is expected, but I'm feeling like I should just sit back and take orders vs trying to be proactive or having thoughts in a freelance role.

Freelance social media managers: how to you charge for your services? What deliverables are included? What’s your rate?

Does anyone here freelance (in design or deckmaking) on top of their full time position? How does that work?

Hi there! Has anyone freelanced up at VMLY&R or Wunderman Thompson lately? I’m wondering if they will pay your LLC.

Art directors and graphic designers - any recommendations on brands and models of monitors? 4K or no? I want something for color accuracy and detail work, but no way I’m spending thousands on the new Apple monitors. Looking for 27” size. Thanks for recommendations!

Anyone hiring broadcast / content producers in NYC? (Freelance and/or FT). It’s been a bit dry, but seems like things are picking up.

Any advice on how to get clients to pay your invoice on time / what to do when they don't? I'm currently working with an agency who agreed to net 30 terms, but has been late with every invoice so far...It's probably a lost cause on this particular job, but Im wondering if there's anything I can do in the future to avoid this situation. Does anyone charge a fee when invoices aren't paid on time? Or is this just par for the freelance life?

Recently got a contract job at Facebook NY. I’ve mostly only been a FTE for the entirety of my career, so a bit nervous as I want to eventually be offered FT but feeling a lot of pressure to perform for the next 5 months to prove my worth. At some point it will surely get exhausting. Any tips for how to deal with this? Also curious to know what a mid-level PM normally gets paid as a freelancer?

Have you ever asked a FT gig if you could freelance instead of going FT either to test out the agency/team or to wait out a better offer?

Any insights are appreciated.

I’ve come to a point where I just started at the green dot on my laptop camera when talking. I want to do the Errol Morris interrotron to get some sort of connection. The lack of eye contact or staring off to the side from other participants makes me think they have high anxiety or on the spectrum like rain man.

Has anyone worked at WebMD before as a contractor?

Does anyone know of a coworking spaces that focus on creatives and/or marketing companies? All the ones I know of like technexus, wework and 1871 in Chicago are tech company focused.

What’s a good hourly rate for senior copywriters these days in LA? Couldn’t find anything under the search function.

Have you ever shut down a project after verbally agreeing to do it, but before they sign the contract? I’m really torn, the project manager has been a nightmare and we’re on day two.
