Is Freelance a thing in Media? I am intrigued. What are the parameters? Are you client facing? How many hours per week? Do you keep/get benefits?

Freelance roles exist for all positions. The hours depend on the client and agency. There are no benefits like health etc. My freelance clients have ranged from 40 hr weeks for 2 weeks, to 16 hr weeks for 6 months, to standard 9-5 for several months. There is no standard. It's a cost measure that allows for teams to split with someone they don't like easily.

Yes there are freelance positions in media. Typically paid by the hour, but I've known digital buying freelancers that got a salary structure. No benefits, but at a certain amount of hours you could qualify. Depends on the company.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell.

I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
