I am graduating with an MS Cybersecurity this June and have been working as a Project Analyst for 5 years. I am in the process of applying to consulting firms (both big and boutique). I am looking to get a broad experience and travel (whenever that starts up again).

Do you have any advice for someone jumping from industry to consulting?

Any tips that would get me noticed by hiring managers and/or recruiters?

With what you know now, what would you do in my shoes?

I don’t have any wallets - can someone help me understand the steps I should take before 10/25. Coinbase has issued a statement that they will support both blockchains, but lack of replay protection creates risk. Thanks fam!

Project Manager with 2-3 years of experience, certifications, and cleared. What's an average salary? Trying to get an idea.

Guys, I need a suggestion from everyone one of you. Salary for my experience as per current market standards in 28 to 30 LPA, which is almost 80 to 90% increment from my current CTC. Should I look for switch now or should I wait for another appraisal, as I am currently onboarded for a new project. I am thinking it will create a bad impression if I switch when I am entering into a new project, so thinking to switch after 6 months. What is your suggestions, please comment

I don’t have visibility in their compensation as levelfyi (lack info) as well as Glassdoor (outdated info). What’s ur strategy? (I want to make the switch to tech so I don’t mind cutting salary but I don’t want to show this to the recruiter)

Are most of the big agencies using music producers these days? We just started as our agency was bought by a bigger agency and I just find they do a lot of cattle calling, instead of allowing collaboration between the my team and the music house. I don’t find it to be the most effective way to find the right piece of music but we’re kind of forced to work through them now…

Hey everyone. I just got a new job doing primarily contract and transactional work. What are some things I should expect and what can I do to excel in this position?

Been brand side for the past few years and thinking about jumping back in to freelance strategy. How is the current freelance market for strategists? I’d be pricing myself at a director level day/hourly rate. Would love to hear current experiences. Thanks!

I’m currently freelancing with a client through Creative Circle. Is there a way I can get the client to extend my contract by going around CC and just hiring me directly instead (so CC isn’t involved)

There is a very fine line between being “in between freelance gigs” and “unemployed”.

is it legal to put brand logos on my website for work i've done in the past? what about writing samples?

Negotiating my first in-house gig. On average, do they tend to pay higher or lower day rates than agencies? Don't want to come in too high and ruin a good opportunity. But I also want my 💰.

What boundaries do you have in place as a FL? I just started and I feel like a hot mess with too much to do (business things, new calls, client work, slack, multiple emails, timesheets 💀). I’m so tired.

How do you handle the situation of being on hold for the next gig after your contract expires, but the current place wants to extend you? Honor the hold for the new place or stay where you are? Same rate, same time commitment. The hold wants to book, but so does the current place. Help!

If I work two days in one week but make 2k, how do I answer the unemployment question "did you make $504 anywhere besides self employment?"

I’m noticing a large number of out-of-work freelance colleagues are strangely hesitant to file for unemployment. Just do it. There is no shame in doing it. You are entitled to it.

Is it slow in freelance strategy right now or is it just me? The first quiet period in a year and I’m on the verge of a major freakout.

Probably a stretch request, but anyone know what day rates would be in a smaller market like North Carolina? Director level?

Full Time Job is feeling stale. Got an offer at a much better agency, but it's Freelance for 3 months. Do I trade job security for the opportunity to do better work?

How do you guys deal with the unpredictability of freelancing? As much as I like having more free time, I feel like I can’t commit to anything because I never know when I’ll be needed in the office.

Hey happy holidays. I’m looking to take my freelancing side hustle to my full-time in 2019. It’s what makes me happiest. I’m curious what tips seasoned pros may have to share on this transition?

Ghosted by agency in the middle of a project. Burn bridges or let it slide?
