Today shit blew up so much on my two gigs all I could hear for hours was the constant barrage of pinging noises from outlook, gmail, slack and teams. Like some kind of hellish tech sounding symphony. I will probably go to sleep tonight with pings, clicks, chimes and whooshes echoing in my head into the void. Seriously y’all how do we not lose our fucking minds?

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

How are you teaching middle or high school chorus in the fully virtual realm? I’m looking for new ideas and techniques. I hate that my choirs can only sing on Zoom with everyone muted...that’s the opposite of choral singing :-(

Mac or HP or Dell: I prefer Mac notebooks. However it seems there might be limitations with the use of Skype or other applications based on materials I have seen. What do you all recommend is the best laptop for working at Deloitte?

Hi! Can someone recommend a source for learning how do simple, fun music lessons on Zoom? I teach first grade and use music for my transitions. I would also like to play songs for them with my guitar, but am concerned it won’t sound good on zoom (the guitar, not my voice, which is bad, we established that long ago)

What website can you use to play simple games over zoom (Chinese checkers, chess, checkers)?

Is Integration Engineer position at Zoom worth joining coming from Software Engineer position?

Ever proposed anyone at workplace on Skype/teams 😉??what's the consequences

Hey art friends, I’m a special needs teacher who also loves to teach art in my class. I’m trying to get familiar with the app Procreate. I’m having an issue with trying to copy and paste a selection from my design. It keeps saying empty layer. I would love to do a Zoom with someone who would be willing to show me how to do it. Thanks so much.

Just realized I hadn’t had an in-person interview since 2019. I’ve done multiple zoom interviews and was onboarded remote in 2020. About to see a real person today! Wish me luck.

I am curious how other inclusion teachers are being utilized when the school is doing remote learning. I find that I am sitting in the zoom class and have very little opportunity to contribute. I am having discussions with my teachers on ways that I can better support them and the students when remote.

Is joining cisco with 26 base 3 lk bonus and 3.5 joining bonus with 6yoe in Cisco webex good?

I’m interviewing for BCG and had a principal reach out to me for a zoom chat. Is this normal for principals to reach out or is this a positive sign?

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

Who here has actually made a genuine connection from being in this group? Let’s hear your stories 🍵

Got assigned to manage a midweight who isn’t very helpful and now seems not to be very responsive. I actually need them to step up because the work to be done is enormous. Does anyone have any tips? Since I’ve only met them remotely, I don’t know if this is lack of skill, insecurity, or if they think they can get away with it bc they’re dealing with a freelancer.

No matter how many years I’ve freelanced, I still find it difficult to accurately (and fairly) predict how many hours a project will take in order to bid on it (and bake in revisions). Any tips or tricks out there?

How much higher should my 1099 hourly rate be compared to hourly breakdown of annual salary? Like add 30% for taxes, then roughly how much more considering no benefits etc. - like 10-15%?

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.

Is there a “rate calculator” out there? Could’ve sworn I’ve seen one before. You would plug in your desired salary and it would translate it into what your day rate is.

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?

How is CDM doing these days?

On a gig with an end date but a hold for the following week. Got strong interest from a place that wants me to break the hold (not the booking) is a longer gig and is offering more $$. Advice?

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

Anyone here eligible for the COBRA premium assistance subsidy under the American Rescue Plan Act 2021? If so, have you received a refund or rebate yet?

Hi, working FT but looking to go freelance. I’ve set up an LLC and take projects sometimes. I have a diverse skillset in digital. what do you say are the most important skills in the market right now?

New to freelance. Where’s the best place to start getting gigs besides reaching out to your own contacts? Thanks!

I don’t want to bore you with billing ?s and the usual inquiries from people who are thinking about making the switch but curious to know if any of you regret it and why.

Got offered a freelance job thats $200 below my usual rate. Its for a pitch. Is it fair if I tell them that Im happy with the rate for a 10 hour work day but afterwards, I’d charge for OT?

Any tips from women who had to take maternity leave while contracting? I’d been hoping to switch to a FT role before COVID then well you know...After 3 months I finally landed a couple contract opportunities but no luck yet with a FT role. I’m due in Feb and getting nervous. I know most companies also have a wait period to qualify for leave but am hoping to get hired at a more progressive company or negotiate. Also wondering if I can get unemployment if my W2 contract is set to end by due date?

While apartment searching, how do you prove that you’re making 40x’s the rent if you’re working freelance? I’ve been freelancing consistently for about 8 months just don’t have a full time job

How do you deal with references as a freelancer? Most of my past gigs - I had managers on paper but it was a formality as I led my own work so don't feel comfortable asking them to be a reference.

To people living abroad (outside of the US), do you apply for jobs that specifically state they only hire US residents?
