I’ve seen many of these types of posts in the last year (we’d love to expand our list of freelancers!) and each time it’s the same. Several hundred comments that makes it look like the hunger games. What is going on with our market?

Are there any openings in enterprise profitability team in PWC sdc?

Hi! My peloton is arriving tomorrow and it’s motivated me to stick with a routine and eat healthier given how much that thing costs 😅. I’ve never done pre/post workout shakes before. Does anyone have any recommendations on which protein powders to look into and when to drink the shakes? And also like what to mix with it? Thanks in advance!

Golf talk. I know I have to try them out in person, but any suggestions for a intermediate set of women’s golf irons?

I’ve only lost ~5 pounds, but I’ve been working out daily for 4 months and getting much stronger and healthier (started working out intermittently for about a year before that). Yesterday I fit into a pair of shorts that haven’t fit in 4 years 🥳🥳

How do I get off Xanax? Doctor won’t prescribe to me anymore and only have 10 pills left. Get crazy insomnia without it

Kittle (coming back from IR) or Gesicki (vs. Houston)?

I think the 49ers will ease Kittle back from his injury and have him primarily block against the Arizona defense.

However, Miami may primarily run the ball due to the game script vs. Houston.

Networking: I’m trying to build a network with MBB employees but I’m searching for roles in another country where I’ve got minimal school connections. Should I start by building a network in my home country and ask them if they can put me in touch with someone in my target location? Or just go straight to people in my intended location with cold requests/emails? Thoughts and views welcome!

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?

What are some of the best countries to work in as a research scientist?

Are y’all worried about the availability of work with the projected upcoming recession?

Friendly reminder folks- don’t work for Havas Health and You. They cut the freelancers hourly rates, again and made it so there’s no OT. The resource manager at HOV said if I couldn’t swing $80 an hour as an HCP copywriter, she’d have to find someone else. Good luck 👍🏻

If I contribute to a solo 401k, is the additional profit-sharing contribution (the 25% of compensation after the $19500 contribution) based on my gross income, or is it based on gross income minus expenses? Thank you🙏🏼

A question from a Brit - what are standard billing / payment terms in the US for a consultancy style project? E.g. fixed stages, clear deliverables and timings. But one person working on it. Thanks!

Hey if you’re out of work and you have access to a beach GO! Just spent two hours zoning out to the waves and I feel so much happier.

Hi! I’ve started to consult a new agency, an 8 month contract ending Dec,2020.
The client is to ‘pay’ me in art plus a retainer reduced by over 60% of my standard rate (because of the painting.
Art=1 piece at the end of the contract, but only if I complete the entire contract. IF I don’t stay on/company doesn’t get off the ground or relationship doesn’t work out, he can sever the contract. He is difficult & volatile and has yet to give me a contract 1 month in. Have I agreed to a bad deal? help

If you freelance at one spot for a while but switch to a new location for a higher rate even though the original wanted to extend you, is that considered burning a bridge? Or can you go back later?

Hey freelancers...I usually raise my rates every 2-3 years. For those of you long-time freelancers, how often do you raise rates? And by what percentage? Looking to keep up with market/cost-of-living and yet, not price myself out.
