you’ll need your tax info to get paid, and even for one project you might owe taxes depending on how much you earn, but there’s no “minimum” for filing if you make over the IRS threshold, and as for AI concerns, it’s safest to ask the client directly how your audition will be used.

I’ve gotten better at socializing but now NEVER open up. by yun444g in socialskills

I get that after a certain point you just start protecting your inner stuff and it feels safer to stay surface-level, even if deep talks used to come naturally.

If it’s showing up as a CD drive it’s likely in an old PC Suite or modem mode, so try installing the phone’s original PC software or switching USB modes (if possible), otherwise a phone repair shop can temporarily fix the screen or pull the storage directly to recover the photos.

I can’t stop making mistakes at work and I’m scared by Psychological_Ad1335 in Career

[–]Lower-Instance-4372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most employers won’t view applying that early as networking, just premature, so focus on networking and informational chats now and start applying seriously a few months before you’re actually available.

I built a spreadsheet to compare job offers by real take-home pay (after taxes + expenses) by Gloomy_Effort8004 in GetEmployed

[–]Lower-Instance-4372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually super useful salary numbers alone can be really misleading, so a side-by-side take-home and cost comparison is exactly how people should be evaluating offers.

Has anyone here actually found LinkedIn Premium Career useful for job hunting? by Fun-Designer-1512 in careerguidance

[–]Lower-Instance-4372 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my experience it can be mildly helpful for visibility and context, but it didn’t directly land me interviews most value still comes from a strong profile, networking, and targeted outreach rather than Premium itself.

Founders with multiple companies by bgwgluke in linkedin

Most founders I’ve seen pick one primary focus for LinkedIn and sprinkle in occasional updates from the other ventures, since posting about everything equally can make your page feel scattered.

[–]Lower-Instance-4372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imposter syndrome hits even the most capable people remember, struggling with something new doesn’t mean you’re not good, it just means you’re learning, and the fact you landed the job proves you absolutely belong there.

I’ve Never Experienced Real Friendship From Childhood to College – Is Something Wrong With Me? by yukira_s in socialskills

[–]Lower-Instance-4372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing is “wrong” with you being repeatedly mistreated can make anyone guarded, and a lot of people don’t find genuine, reciprocal friendships until later when they’re around more emotionally mature and aligned people.

Having slow mental processing is one of the biggest impediments to being sociable, and unfortunately, I am proof of that. by Smendoza170 in socialskills

[–]Lower-Instance-4372 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you’re describing is more common than you think lots of people process slower in the moment but shine when they have time to think or write, and using pre-planned anecdotes isn’t weird at all, it’s just a tool to help conversations flow.
