Why would anyone take this position? It combines two roles, pays $20/hr... part time.. etc. Unemployment pays you more!

also: Creative Circle needs to be phased out.. they rob creatives of their hard earned money.

Creative circle works like this: agency comes to creative circle for freelance support. Agency is willing to pay $100/hr for talent. Creative circle pays freelancer $20-30/hr. It’s predatory. Avoid.

The gap is really that bad? I have an offer for $26/h through cc but I don't see hourly rates being that much higher for entry level designers without cc as a middleman

Agencies continue to hire them bc they’re an easy solution that is a preferred vendor within the accounting process, so it’s a path of least resistance sort of thing. If they changed, they’d have to go through a full RFP and selection process, which I assure you that no one is going to want to do bc there will be waaaay too many proverbial cooks in the kitchen.

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.

I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
