U.S freelancers:

I was assigned a project for a big brand a year ago through a recruitment agency, the brand now contacting me for another project & asking for a quote. What’s the common practice here?

I did sign a contract with the agency and in the freelance handbook it states out that within certain period of time any future projects from the same client needs to go through with the agency. But I don’t want them to take half of my pay check. Help!

What’s your best credit card and why? I’ve only ever had one and it was the bare minimum just 2% cash back kind. I have a 795 credit score for reference (not sure if that matters).
