Do you guys charge the same rate for client side freelance? E.g. if New Balance wanted you to help with a new sub-brand visual ID.

I have 9 YOE, 7 of which is in Cybersecurity (government) and an MBA. End goal is a tech exit likely PgM Mgmt but I have recently done some freelance w/ B4 and now have a B4 offer on the table. For those of you who exited to tech or planned to. Do you think there's some value in going to Consulting for a few years to boost comp or would you rec just targeting tech off the bat?

An old colleague referred me to her team at this large e-commerce company for a full-time role. The interview with the hiring manager went well, so she set up the second interview with a marketing manager. So right out of the gate, this manager asks me why some of the freelance roles I’ve had were only 1 to 3 months, as if this is a huge red flag. I told him that that’s what the agreed upon duration was. Anyone else have this come up?

Two years ago I was buried in debt due to a nasty divorce and a shitty job. I couldn’t afford rent and I was in grad school. Today and thanks to the ideas I found here, I just crossed an important financial milestone, i am investing in my retirement, save within reason and negotiated a new job at a 100% increase compared to 2 years ago. Picked up a prolific freelance on the side (the only upside of the pandemic’s stay at home) and I’m more confident than ever. THANKS 🙏
