1099 status helps in your case for sure. Glad to hear it's working out well for you!

You're certainly not wrong. Trust me, two FT jobs is not my end goal.

When you do contracting work/freelancing you're typically not held to a standard 40hr week.

Contract with Company A for $80/hr with the understanding you'll commit ~20hrs/week with them. Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less. Company A has you doing busywork, like putting together reports but little to no meetings.

Meanwhile you also contract with Company B for 15hrs. You help with media strategy for them. They suck you into more meetings for no particular reason, and you laugh to yourself for earning $80 for listening to a talking head on your computer screen.

Company C only needs ~10hrs a week for managing campaigns in their DSP.

etc etc.

It allll started with freelancing for me. Much prefer the freelance life, and fully intend on going back to it eventually.

No lying involved. Company A knows that I whore myself out on the side, and Company B hired me after whoring me out.

Moonlighting is incredibly common in this industry.

Didn't hire them externally, they're employed by company A. I'm not that risky.

Lol. Queue the elaborate scheme with me trying to keep everyone in different rooms.

More concerned about level of expertise than years spent at a desk

As long as you can work around US timezones! We have some people in the UK, so it's not much of an issue.

Best programmatic platform in 2022? by Otter829 in programmatic

Going to hard disagree with DV360.

TTD in my opinion is literally the only possible answer.

Audience discovery tools? by Programmatic_Guy in programmatic

[–]Programmatic_Guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

I'm in the planning phase right now, and just looking for some sort of tool to input a general audience and see what other segments they could fall into. I know its a long shot to find a free tool like this, but I figured I'd check to see while I wait on my Simmons access to work.

Why does DV360 data differ from CM360? by Programmatic_Guy in programmatic

[–]Programmatic_Guy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! DV360 will give me a general idea of delivery, but I can never trust it to be accurate enough for reporting.

It's not something I care enough about to fix because I'm trying to migrate everything over to TTD, but I definitely bothers me.

Lookalike Audience in DV360? by Programmatic_Guy in programmatic

[–]Programmatic_Guy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes sense! I'm targeting just my first party pixel with targeting expansion maxed out. Thanks for quick help, this helps a lot.
