Is being a highly paid freelancer the best possible situation/end goal of this advertising shit? I feel like the autonomy you have over your working conditions as a freelancer would beat the relative lack of control you have in FT roles, especially later on in your career.

So, rich freelancers, do you love your life? Or is advertising wall-to-wall misery no matter what lol

Kind of random but I was an athlete in a non-revenue driving sport and I would say our league was pretty competitive. However, I've noticed that for the revenue-driving sports like basketball that our colleagues at Harvard and Yale consistently get better recruits and fare better on a national stage. Given the league's stance on scholarships, wouldn't you expect more parity?

Harvard had a top 10 recruiting classes a few years ago for basketball.

Yale has a recent lax and hockey title

What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve said yes to at work?

I’ve been freelancing at a bigger NYC agency for a while and just found out that some of the FT creatives/account folks with significant responsibility make <45k. How is that okay?

Creatives that use PowerPoint disgust me that is all have a good day.

Is it bad or is there a polite way to ask an agency to see their work when they haven’t updated their site for a few years, during an interview?

I’m a designer on an in-house design team in the mortgage industry. Our senior designer passed on managing our team and they’ve asked me to fill the role unofficially until the end of the year as training, then make it official.

I don’t know what the previous managers have made and I’m not sure of the range yet, but how would you go about salary negotiations?

What we really need to know is, which clients are yet to have their brand logos dissected and distanced.

This ... is ... not ... sustainable! I’m the sole earner and have a kid, so “just quit!” during a pandemic is not it - and “setting boundaries” ain’t easy when I’m always reachable by text/zoom/email. I’m fortunate to have a job, but damn. Working From Home = Working Forever From Everywhere. And it sucks.

What’s the best way of selling work to your boss if he’s just not current on new stuff? I keep getting handed references from some directors from 10 years ago and I want to say “hey, what about something from this year, not last century”
