How much are we charging for full brand guidelines these days? I haven’t done one for freelance in about 7 years so I have no idea what to charge. Icon, wordmark + 5 department variations, all the standard brand book stuff (type, color, usage) and exporting all the file types for the main logo and all departments. Looking for a jumping off point here as I know there’s nuance. Not a mom and pop company. Any guidance would be much appreciated!

Thoughts on Peter Cooper Village in NYC as a 25M? I value social proximity, sunlight/greenery/space a bit as a baseline, and commute last. I’m leaning towards Murray Hill for the central location, shorter commute, and higher proportion of mid 20s folks but roommate wants PCV/stuy. My issue with PCV/stuy is that the commute is doubled at 30min and I don’t wanna be around a bunch of undergrads in east village all day

The company I work for has standard pay bands for each role. I thought I would like the transparency, as opposed to my last company where our salaries were all over the place, (some people doing the same job had ~$20k differences) but then I realized how much the standardization inhibits my ability to negotiate raises. Are there any secrets to negotiating above the standards or am I just stuck?

Really want to buy a second-hand Mini Cooper for my daughter, but everyone in my circle is asking me to stay away from that option, considering it would be really expensive to maintain in case things come up. I just think it would be the perfect size and such a fun ride for her if there is nothing to worry about with the car's health. Would you take the risk?

I'm currently prepping for my Cisco certification and mostly relying on the official study platforms they’re solid, structured, and trusted. That said, I’ve also found some extra practice support on TrendyCerts. Their practice questions helped me reinforce weak areas I didn’t catch before. Worth checking out if you want an added edge alongside the official resources!

I recently accepted a position with National General in the PIP department. What does their training look like and is it cameras on the entire day? Also, if you currently work there can you confirm your last payday? I currently work for a company that is biweekly pay but want to see if it's the same schedule or the opposite weeks.

Hello Fishes. I have a 20K home improvement spend coming up and the vendor is willing to accept CC with a 3% markup. What credit cards are worth considering? I have an Alaska visa and venture X and citi Costco. Your advice is appreciated. I live in Seattle and mostly fly AS and stay at Marriotts. Highest status on both.

I recently received an offer at Guidehouse for what I am told is a C3 position. I am currently a Consultant at Deloitte up for promo to Senior Consultant next year. I wanted to understand if C3 is equivalent to C or SC, because I have seen some mixed answers online. Anyone have any insight to offer? Thanks!

Cross post: what sort of comp package can I expect from an AmLaw200 firm as a lateral jr. partner with an approximate $1-1.5 mm and growing book of business? I’ve worked in BL before, currently at a midsize and asking here as there are recruiters and others from firms down the AmLaw.
