U.S freelancers:

I was assigned a project for a big brand a year ago through a recruitment agency, the brand now contacting me for another project & asking for a quote. What’s the common practice here?

Our general work schedule at R/GA is Monday through Friday, however, all salaried freelancers are eligible for a discretionary bonus which factors in extraordinary time you bill to jobs outside of our general work schedule as well as your overall performance. This discretionary bonus would be paid out on a monthly basis and is not guaranteed.”

I'm based in NYC and have had firms in Canada and England reach out about projects. The agencies have offices in the US but I would be working w/ their international teams (servicing US based clients). I've asked for my standard rate in USD converted to their currency.

TIA!
