Interviewed at an org where they disclosed 50% of lawyers left the team in < 1 year, work life balance issues, lay offs and pay cuts, so they're understaffed and underpaid. Would you see this as a 🚩?

Is this a serious question?

LOL how could you NOT see that as a red flag?

LOL 😳 I tend to focus on red flags by default, but reading everyone's comments, I don't think I'm being my usual hyper paranoid self in this scenario

If you’re full-time at an agency but looking for additional work as a freelancer, do you say you’re currently working at said agency during an interview for a possible freelance gig? I’ve had an instance where they said they can’t hire someone at another agency due to a conflict of interest. I love my current gig, so going freelance FT isn’t an option. What would you do in a situation like this? Is there a workaround, as it’s typically ghostwriting anyway with zero by-lines?

Hello! I’ve been working as a photographer for 15 years both as an employee and a freelancer. I started working full time with my current company a year ago.

Any idea what salary I should ask for?

So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
