What is the best way to proceed on this situation. You agreed to a freelance gig that is going to last a few months, in the meantime another full time job you’d applied to makes an offer and asks if you can start in a week or two. I want to take it but don’t want to leave the people that were counting on me hanging. i have someone that I can offer to stay in my place. Is that sufficient?

If you want the FT role, you pit in your notice at the freelance gig and be proactive in helping them with the transition.

Agencies cut freelance assignments all the time. It goes both ways, and you can handle it with more grace than agencies ever do.

Congrats!

Give the FL gig your notice, they should all understand, and if they don’t that’s just proof they don’t deserve you anyway. Do what you can to help them, but you always need to look out for your own best interests, agencies only operate in their best interests too.

Take the FT role. Give notice at the FL gig. Offer to help them find a replacement. Agencies deal with this situation often and they’d have zero problem kicking a freelancer to the curb with 2 hour notice.

Congrats on the FT role!

I spent a year in tax investigations where I believe I was thriving ( I was going to be an assistant manager in July 2023), I had a lot of assistant manager jobs, I even drafted a Code 9 report to HMRC which my manager said was 80% of an actual report, he then added the 20% and submitted it.
After I realised I couldn't maintain all the unpaid overtime I was working I decided to take a turn and go to compliance, so now I work in CT compliance. I feel very surpressed.
