I’m pretty well-respected always booked very experienced and definitely no stranger to everyone’s opinion. I have this one small ind agency client that pays good 1099 money so they’re always in rotation. However they constantly rewrite everything I send them. And not for the better, just the same words, but different if that makes sense. and it’s usually an acct coordinator doing it. why does this make me more insecure than a CD having comments?

Clearly it’s a small, account-driven agency that doesn’t know what they’re doing. You’re a hired gun. If you were FT that’d be a different story.

As long as you’re being paid well, take the money and don’t give it a second thought.

This is the way now. Cash the checks and run OP.

Weird that it’s an account coordinator doing it. Does the cd know? Some CDs like to be very hands on with the deck but seems like an over-step for the acct person.

They’re just a confused junior thinking they’re adding value. As long as the agency is happy with your output, try to emotionally detach and just relish in that good 1099 money

When you are a freelancer, revisions are just more time to bill. As long as they keep paying you, it's all good.

Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.
