What is the consensus on doing freelance work for smaller companies while working at a holding company agency? Is that something I could get in a pickle for? 🥒

As long as the clients aren’t direct competitors, it’s usually fine. The key is to make sure it doesn’t overlap with your main responsibilities or regular working hours. Go get that bread!

Literally who cares if they are competitors - get your bag everyone else is 🤪

PRO TIP:

Freelance on the DL. Just never use your work-issued computer, never take on a project that would be a conflict of interest, never work for an agency under the same holding co as your FT job, never tell a soul, and ignore anyone who tells you to “check your contract” before doing it 🙄 you're not C-suite.

Be very careful about what your contract says. Do you really want to give people an easy out right now.

I’m doing it right now! Takes a bit of work to manage both schedules, but if you can do it go for it! Can’t wait for the paychecks and no one needs to know as long as the product I deliver is all the same.

Don’t get caught. I personally don’t care unless you’re using ideas that belong to the other agency.

Only if you tell someone. Keep it on the down low.

No problem. Just don't do anything that competes

What are your thoughts on the Scrum Master role? I’ve worked with a few now and out of 5 of them, only 1 seemed to be of any help.

I feel that the role should be reserved for employees with experience in the systems they work in.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
