Out of curiosity, has anyone here set up an LLC for their freelance? I’m debating whether or not I should…I’ve done some research on it and know the main pros and cons, but I’m looking to get more personal perspectives. Fwiw freelance isn’t my main job, I only do a few projects a year to supplement my income.

If you only do a few projects a year, I don’t think it’s worth it. You can get an EIN number (fast and free) and use that to call yourself a Sole Proprietor.

Prob not unless your making a significant amount of income off it that you would benefit from certain business write offs. If you search LLC in this group you’ll see a lot of info about or but unless your making like 10s of thousands off your side hustle no reason too. But they are pretty inexpensive to setup if you do just to to have a business you are planning on growing into something.

The biggest drawback is that it can take you longer to get paid as agencies can have 90 day terms to pay some vendors. Typically freelance is much quicker.

Depends what state too. Annual CA is $800. NY is like $30

Yes, a while ago as it’s been required by some freelance clients to do 1099

Hi , I recently went through all the loop , HR round and final HM catch up for a Senior level role at Meta only to be not offered a role (went to an internal candidate). Recruiter was very sympathetic and offered to introduce to any other open roles I am interested in. Should I take him up on it ? I see 2 open roles very similar to the ones I interviewed for. Recruiter had no negative feedback from the teams . Has this worked out for anyone ?
