So, how long has everyone been working remotely? I haven’t been inside an office since March of 2020. I’m pretty sure I don’t know how to function in a traditional office setting anymore.

If you are on notice period and not doing work properly or on time then what can be the consequence ?
They cant put me on performance defaulters as I voluntarily resigned and also got good feedback from client.
The reason I resigned was the sh^^head manager and project.
He said I would be released from project soon and then on bench but after resigning he is saying you have to serve the NP n we cant release early.
This is only option left to get released from this sh^t place

Who has the Descovy business?

What are the chances of Onshore transfer from IQVIA Consulting Services India office to Canada? I also hold a PR to Canada! Will that help I want to apply at IQVIA Canada?

Question about IEP goals if anyone can help. If a student has an OT goal (say being able to zip coat or put on shoes without assistance) and the IEP says person responsible is the OT, is that all on them? I understand I could also work on it too in class but when IEP comes, they are responsible for writing the IEP portion and talking about that? Same with speech and language provider?

How does one use 500 Mile Upgrades on AA In the most effective manner?

Saw a new LikedIn headline that might take the cake. Someone, who I don’t know, tried to connect with me, and his title is “Ambassador for Christ”. Little does he know... 😈

Fellow freelance ADs! What are typically the slowest months of your year?

Anyone have any advice on who to contact for merch/apparel related gigs? Preferably in the music or sports industry. Recommendations for agencies that focus on this are also greatly appreciated!

Question to freelancers: why?
What are the benefits and the odds of being a freelancer and how did you make that choice?

Have you ever regretted your choice?

On the verge of turning an hourly client into a retainer. Any tips?

Emergency question!! Sending over an invoice to a client. We are both in mass. Do I charge tax on a digital delivery? I did on my last two but now I’m questioning it. Help!

Recently got a contract job at Facebook NY. I’ve mostly only been a FTE for the entirety of my career, so a bit nervous as I want to eventually be offered FT but feeling a lot of pressure to perform for the next 5 months to prove my worth. At some point it will surely get exhausting. Any tips for how to deal with this? Also curious to know what a mid-level PM normally gets paid as a freelancer?

I've been meeting with recruiters from staffing agencies and the freelance rates I'm being told are super low. What rates hourly/daily are you getting for ACD/art in NYC??

Time to update the website. Squarespace? Any other recommendations or tips? Thanks!

Are y’all worried about the availability of work with the projected upcoming recession?

When you’re asked about your rate, do you include weekend / holiday rates upfront? Or do you wait until it comes up after you’ve started? New to this, so please be kind.

Trying to avoid paying an accountant, can I actually write off home office space/mileage if I was just permalancing for 3 months last year? Shouldn’t the 7 months of W2 take care of this 1099 shit?

Does anyone know of a coworking spaces that focus on creatives and/or marketing companies? All the ones I know of like technexus, wework and 1871 in Chicago are tech company focused.

Any 100% remote PM positions out there?
I’m kicking back 10k for the referrer at 30Days in. I travel between Canada and Mexico.

Like 👍 to help spread the word 🙏

Friendly reminder folks- don’t work for Havas Health and You. They cut the freelancers hourly rates, again and made it so there’s no OT. The resource manager at HOV said if I couldn’t swing $80 an hour as an HCP copywriter, she’d have to find someone else. Good luck 👍🏻

What’s the longest an agency has kept you waiting in reception on your first day of a gig?

Quick PSA: one of the perks of going in-house, is that you’re no longer at an ad agency and all that that entails.

Just started a new in-house tech fl gig and it’s giving me whiplash! Somehow this dept has brought every person/toxic behavior from their old agency just to a new environment. Nowhere is perfect but good god. I honestly think companies/HR could learn a lot about their depts from freelancers.

If I contribute to a solo 401k, is the additional profit-sharing contribution (the 25% of compensation after the $19500 contribution) based on my gross income, or is it based on gross income minus expenses? Thank you🙏🏼

How often do y’all adjust your rates? I’m fairly new to freelancing but I’m getting a ton of interest. The company I’m with met my rate with no negotiation, which signals I might be selling myself short. Is it uncool to ask for more if they want to extend my contract? Or is it better to just end with them and ask for more from the next company?
