@EP I don't doubt for a second that you guys are underpaid. The general lack of appreciation for producers has always baffled me.

The reason freelance creatives tend to command such high rates has a lot to do with why we're contracted in the first place. We tend to be brought on less for staffing shortfalls and more because the agency needs what they perceive to be top creative performers. Maybe the staff creatives haven't solved something or maybe the agency really needs to win a pitch and wants a higher chance of success. Essentially, we're ringers, so we have more room to negotiate. Of course whether we actually deserve any of this is highly debatable.

Um what? They said NYC. That seems right to me. I can ask for 1200-1300 with zero pushback. Get 1500-1600 for tougher/more desperate assignments. Of course it all depends on book/experience I guess.

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

Hi,

Can someone please let me know how is the annual appraisal and growth in SLC?

I have gone through lot of posts in Glassdoor where existing employees are not happy with increments and slow growth.

5th September is my last working day at Infosys. Yoe=4+ yrs
Tech= aws devops
I hold an offer of 18LPA from KPMG with joining date of 7th September. (Wfh)
I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)
Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

Should i join KPMG?

I feel like the benefits are great but I’d rather make more now. I am a previous LEO for 4 years who switched to paralegal so I have my leo retirement. Paralegals here make $28 with no benefits what is a good compromise
