People are saying the creative job market and freelance is picking up. LinkedIn is saying it too. What’s your take?

Dunno who is saying that because I have only seen the polar opposite. Lots of layoffs, trepidation about looming economic depression, and trump destabilizing the global economy on a daily basis. In turbulent or bear market conditions, businesses shore up weaknesses and spend less. When they spend less, our industry is the first to tank.

Maybe freelance because agencies realized they cut too many people and still need to get the work done.

"People are saying" like when the President says "people are saying" or you have actually heard people saying this?

OP, SC1 has a point. Sometimes people say “people are saying” to legitimize their own personal opinion or when literally one other person said the thing.

Have a feeling the comment was meant to be in jest. Not sure the condescension was necessary. At least, that’s what people have been saying. 😏

Its true. I hadn’t worked for the past six months but then the jobs started pouring in this past Wednesday and now I’m quintuple booked for at least the rest of the year at my asking day rate of $3000 for each gig. Guys, do the math. That’s $75,000k a week. I’m going to clear $1.2M in earnings between now and New Years.

If you need more spelling out, I’m gonna be rich!!!!

Rich, I say, FILTHY RICH!!!!

There is a downside though. A lot of the work is doing social posts.

Hi Fishes,

l interviewed for Deloitte (India not USI) in January, and accepted an offer letter with DOJ of 25th April, later HR asked me to join on 11th April for which I agreed. Now I haven't received the revised offer letter or any links other than BGV and Pre-Hire form from Deloitte and now the HR is not even picking my calls or responding to emails.

Any advice on what to do?

If you get an offer a few days before you have a final interview (or while you're waiting to hear back), is it okay to ask for some time? Or do they expect you to answer right there?

i'm in the final round for 2 different media positions in 2 completely different places (NYC and NC) and things are moving really quickly for both. the NYC job is my dream one but they're both offering $40k so i'm conflicted. any advice would be helpful lol
