There are no set salaries, no limits on how to direct one's efforts. Paying out of pocket for health care (not everyone qualifies for the Freelancers Union), quarterly taxes, accounting, bookkeeping, promotion, marketing, negotiations, pre and post project management. There's the possibility. And forget about holidays.

On The Job

SEPTEMBER 15, 2008

If it's health insurance, living in a certain city, specific hours, etc., Brainstorm about people they know who might be able to help you submit a resume or get an interview. Be realistic about what you can accept as a salary, and don't get caught up in a job title. Rally the troops. Be ready to get the hell out of Dodge.

I also had to get ready for a Board of Directors' meeting earlier than expected, but I did it and my boss even negotiated with my new boss so I could go to the final board meeting to finish off that aspect of my job.
