There is no more satisfying--and yet also no more hollow--victory than telling the outside recruiter calling me about a potential gig that he should kick rocks.

Unfortunately, that gig is the same one I quit because the client wouldn't pay for wait time. And when I quit the gig, the in-house recruiter told me it was a mistake because "everyone wants that job." Burning bridges to nowhere is my true calling.

Fam based in NYC - what grocery store delivery services do you use? I just spent the past 1.5 hours in the grocery store wandering around aimlessly. Not the best use of my time.

£200 for WFH equipment , what are you fishes getting

Hi All, currently considering a role in the Health and Public service team. Just wanted to know the expectation for working in the London office? This would be my base, but would require a lengthy commute for me.

Why some Managers and Leads are obsessed over faster delivery? I have found this behaviour specifically within India Based firms or clients. I mean quality work takes time. Better designing takes time. Ni bas jaldi krdo! I mean its not food that will rotten if 2 ka 3 din hogya! Seriously start the work in chaos and then later say “We understand everything is complicated in this project but it is how it is and we have to work hard to tackle this!” I mean it was you who made it complicated!

I know the pay at Jackson Lewis is subpar, but is anyone at JL and happy there? I understand this is also probably office specific but am curious about culture and vibe.

Hi! Does anyone have any Christmas gift ideas for a 30 year old female (currently pregnant)? She loves almost all designer brands, but I’m hoping to keep it under $500... (sister-in-law).

I love iPhones but I hate just about every other Apple product. I hate Macs and the AirPods are terrible and can’t stay on. Im just bummed that I’m sucked into their ecosystem and can’t deal with no having things sync. Goddamn! The Macs are just such terrible machines. Regret buying one!

Might be off topic, but guys please, take care of your health. I've been rejected by all companies in the last 2 months.
I had my Walmart interview today and it went really well. And guess what? I got a rejection email.
I felt dizziness while working and fell down today.
I had to go to the doctor due to the anxiety and stress I was carrying since the last 2 months. It has affected my health.

It's important to push yourself to achieve your goals, but don't forget to "Live" in the process.

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

Is charging $1 per word reasonable for someone w/10 years of copywriting experience?

Let’s say you have a project that you charge hourly for. The briefing itself/getting acquainted w the project was a solid hour. Do you charge for that hour?

I’ve never considered freelancing before, but this year I got hit with a series of unfortunate events… including leaving my role for an amazing offer that later got retracted. Any tips on where to start?

If you’re booked full time but on an hourly rate, what do you charge if it’s slow? Do you still charge the full day for being around and available, even though we’re all remote now?

I may need a freelance senior (ish) AD to partner with for the month of January, in house at a start up. Post your books!

What percent is set aside for federal?

I enjoy being asked for samples when I featured my website 3 times through email. In the body, my signature and my resume. I spend 100~/year on it. It has my entire portfolio... 😒😒😒

What would a fair day rate be for a pharma/health agency? Also, is it worth taking the gig just for money? I have other gigs to put in my book. Thanks!

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 👍🏻

Have any American Producers ever successfully been able to freelance abroad (London or Amsterdam)? Any advice?

Recruiters in the USA

I'm London based, never worked anywhere else, but I like the idea of freelancing abroad while it's simple what with all the WFH.

Can anyone recommend any good US-based recruiters? I am a senior copywriter.

I’ve come to a point where I just started at the green dot on my laptop camera when talking. I want to do the Errol Morris interrotron to get some sort of connection. The lack of eye contact or staring off to the side from other participants makes me think they have high anxiety or on the spectrum like rain man.

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

My accounting edge finance is not compatible with the new Mac OS. I do not need the $15/month subscription they offering as an upgrade since I’m a lone freelancer. I’ve always kept my own books and did my own taxes. Anyone else out there with a basic bookkeeping program recommendation for Mac would be appreciated.

Do agencies typically take the full 30 days to pay?

A question from a Brit - what are standard billing / payment terms in the US for a consultancy style project? E.g. fixed stages, clear deliverables and timings. But one person working on it. Thanks!

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
