Great! This is a job for the next job. For everything you do, think of it as a resume bullet point: Accomplished [X] as measured by [Y] by doing [Z].

Do enough of this and you’ll be much better placed for where you wanna be.

I’ve always worked in saas and end of year is busy. As a Junior attorney, I loved it - I didn’t mind putting in the extra time and not being able to take time off around Xmas and NY. But now I’m older and I have kids and I want to take off more time to be with them and drink holiday cocktails in front of a fire. But I can’t because even though I have folks who report to me who do most of the work, I am still available for escalations (or to jump in if needed). Are other industries better?

For internal promotion with title increase... do you start with your pitch first or the $. My pitch will include market rate, value I'm bringing and will continue to bring with examples. Wondering if I should also include how we have been having a hard time filling positions so the market is in employee favor for my role as well as inflation? Should I go into granular detail on the math done to get to my #such as market average for my role the % increase I had for my last promotion etc

This is a potentially dumb question but when you are allocated a certain round of revisions does the last/final version count in that number?
For example, we have four rounds budgeted for an animation, if we provide feedback on R3 are we able to give feedback on the next round as well or do the “four rounds” refer to the four delivered videos?

Looking to branch out from mid-market work (currently editing on salary, full-time) and get into some more challenging and *hopefully* national work as a side-gig (or full-time remote) via freelance or becoming a name on a roster. Has anyone else made this very specific transition?
