I feel like I have a really negative relationship with my ADHD. As a child it really irritated and stressed out my mother so as soon as I mellowed out a little bit I always thought of it as a really negative thing. I still worry that if I talk too much or too fast, or forget something around her she'll get really annoyed or be angry with me. We've never talked about it but I think I might need to talk to a professional about it. Can anyone relate?

Those of you who were successful, how did you go about talking to your counselor about wanting to switch offices/service lines?

Hi Sharks,
I have got offers from Bosch and Harman which one should I choose? I don’t have that much knowledge about Harman International. They both are giving similar CTC.

I have been with my current company for the last 14 years. Straight commission position. Since 2013 hey have been trying to rebuild this store. Since working for them we’ve gone through 3 CFO’s and I am on my third BM who will being leaving the company only after a year. There is a new Area leader which is causing bad karma among the team. Strong arm tactics and now we are losing good people again. Ideas on how to deal with this very uncomfortable situation. Stuck between a rock and hard place.

It's been over a year and I'm still not over my crush. And he lives overseas now 🥺.

Always going for what I can't have.

How long was your longest crush?

700+ GMAT scorers! How long did you take to study?

Does anyone use any indoor swings for your toddler?

Do most of you get paid as W2 employees now from the big agencies? It really screws us at the end of the year.

Curious what agency producers / creatives think about using freelance editors lately? Seems like it’s an inevitable future.

Creative circle is looking for a Freelance EP in New York - the rate isn’t even $500 a day.

GFU and anyone who takes that job. You’re killing it for the rest of us.

Has anyone here heard of or worked with something called “The Bench”? I guess they vet and source freelancers(?).

I’ve been putting aside tens of thousands of dollars for taxes in a separate checking account. Has anyone else in this situation invested that money until tax time? If so, into what?

Is now a really dumb time to choose to go freelance?

has anyone freelanced at kettle? what was your experience and was it worth it?

Who do you recommend for commercial general liability insurance that covers bodily injury and property damage: including personal/advertising injury liability, products, operations and overall contractual liability.

Client needs this before we enter into a contract.

What’s the answer/statement you use when you’re applying for in-house roles and you’ve freelanced for a while? Recruiters seem to be weary of freelancers.

Are there any freelance paid social people in the group? May have an opp to forward along

Do you like being on retainer or more project based contracting?

I'm in a good place financially being on retainer but I want to be pushed more creatively as a personal objective because I feel I'm not getting it at my current contracting agency. That would mean revising or going off retainer to open up more working hours for unknown possibilities.

Open to hear your thoughts, life experience, and opinions. Thanks Creatives!

Has anyone had freelance gigs where there’s long periods of downtime, or you are on standby?

Talking to a few shops. Went through multiple rounds of interviews with each. All long term freelance gigs. Looks like one shop is ready to make an offer, but I’d like to see if the other two agencies will do the same. How much time do I have to get back with an answer before loosing an offer?

Wanted: your invaluable advice for a freelancing newbie.

Any advice for when you have a few agencies/clients *potentially* wanting to book you at the same time but they are wishy washy to *actually* seal the deal with a contract?

My gut instinct is to tell each potential client that another agency is trying to book me (like when you get far along in the FT interview process) but that seems melodramatic for freelance, right?

Are you looking for an experienced Virtual Executive Assistant to organize your calendar as well as your work life? If so, I have over 10 years of experience supporting Presidents and CEOs. Please send me a message and we chat about how I can help you get and stay organized!

There’s a general conception that when you go freelance you’re going to be making more money. I haven’t found that to be the case and still struggle to line up clients. Anyone else?

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but:
EMAIL IS NOT A CONTRACT.
Only a countersigned contract with terms is a contract. Do not accept less than that or it will be you who takes the hit!

Worst agency for onboarding freelancers In NYC? Curious if the agency I’m struggling w will be mentioned.
