Two weeks

Two weeks + a week for every year you’ve been there

One week for every year of employment. Dassit. Once at an independent shop and once at a WPP shop. For more senior management levels it can differ and be more

As an open-ended freelancer they paid me out through the end of the month. It happened to be December and I had a two week (unpaid) vacation planned for the holidays so it was a very nice surprise.

Two weeks base plus one for every year of service (Publicis). Oh and OP remember it’s taxed at 40% 😡

1 week/year, from WPP, and the same again from Omnicom.

im 10 weeks into my contract as a PO at a large satelline/wireless provider (synonym: plate) and the company has offered to bring me on as an internal employee.

currently i am hourly contractor at a rate of $50/hr + 2k sign on

the salaried offer is for 104k ( $52/hr)/ no bonus

problem here is that i work 48-52hrs/wk & get paid overtime, so taking this offer would actually be a paycut by about $250-300/wk

how / what should i negotiate as a fair compensation package

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
