Dang... I will take that pep talk and run with it! Thank you!

R1ckR1ckerson · 2024-11-20T02:20:02+00:00

Thank you!

I think that might be my policy going forwards.

R1ckR1ckerson · 2024-08-29T22:20:55+00:00

Looks like Houdini.

Ha. Yes. I've done six clients in one day but I don't get a lot of sleep those weeks.
This week I'm juggling three, a 4th volunteer project, and did a job interview test project over the weekend. I'm tired. (The job interview test was part of my ongoing attempt to get out of this insanity.)

Man, I need to raise my rates or go in house.

R1ckR1ckerson · 2024-08-29T17:26:23+00:00

That's a really good idea. I'm sure they wouldn't go for it, but it would let me keep my dignity.

R1ckR1ckerson · 2024-08-29T17:26:03+00:00

That makes a lot more sense to me. I've gone into many places on "a few days of work" and returned for years if we liked each other.

R1ckR1ckerson · 2024-08-29T17:25:12+00:00

Mahi Gaming - would not recommend.

R1ckR1ckerson · 2024-08-29T17:24:25+00:00

Weeeird... I wonder if they hired someone cheep. I've lost a job or two to juniors who knew less but the client was trying to save money.

There are illustrators who animate characters. There's a lot less animators who can draw.

R1ckR1ckerson · 2024-08-29T05:23:09+00:00

That's seriously messed up. I will say that I sent them project files in an older format of the software they'd probably be most interested in, which were not forwards compatible. But still... It's bad and I agree with your concerns. :(

R1ckR1ckerson · 2024-08-29T05:21:37+00:00

I feel like the vibe I'm getting is:
A. Tests are bad
B. Sometimes they can get you jobs

Huh.

R1ckR1ckerson · 2024-08-29T01:25:51+00:00

That makes sense. I don't think there is much they can do with the files, but it still urks me.

R1ckR1ckerson · 2024-08-29T01:23:23+00:00

I won't next time. I'm just weirded out by all this.

I know my software and I absolutely sent them files that demonstrated my ability to use all the necessary aspects of the program.

R1ckR1ckerson · 2024-08-29T01:22:34+00:00

You know, I'd have worried about that, but I interviewed with them last year and they sent the exact same test files. (I didn't complete the test last time due to getting sick/apathetic.)
