Is there a way to tell if you're freelance will turn perm at some point? Just started my first FT freelance gig which recruiter told me was freelance to perm...and half the team are contractors which leads me beleive I'll be last in line for any perm opps. Don't depts already have their budgets set for next year? Should they be able to tell me if my contract will at least be extended past Jan?

3rd party recruiters say that ‘ish all the time to place bodies and get paid. If half the team are contractors than I definitely wouldn’t get my hopes up.

If you’re looking for FT I’d definitely keep applying elsewhere while you’re working.

Glad you got the gig in the meantime. It’s tough out there.

I’m transitioning into a role where I’ll be more hands on in production. Previously, the producers handled the budget, contracts etc. I haven’t done this in a long while so I hope I could get some answers here to be more prepared

I need help/advice/emotional support/literally anything.

I’m an in-house designer. My company decided to offer social media marketing packages to our clients. Today they asked me to take full ownership of that outside social media marketing on top of my current job duties.

I expressed a need for a promotion or raise to compensate for the major increase in responsibility, a responsibility that is not currently in my description.

They pushed back.
