I was curious if anyone has received a contract offer from Mercor? I received an email with an Instant Employment offer” after an AI interview that was 4 weeks ago. The pay rate is high and seems too good to be true. I went to their website and logged in and the offer is there in my profile. I just hate entering confidential info onto a website that I’m not totally familiar with. Also I’ve not spoken to human yet…all seems oddly strange.
How much are we charging for full brand guidelines these days? I haven’t done one for freelance in about 7 years so I have no idea what to charge. Icon, wordmark + 5 department variations, all the standard brand book stuff (type, color, usage) and exporting all the file types for the main logo and all departments. Looking for a jumping off point here as I know there’s nuance. Not a mom and pop company. Any guidance would be much appreciated!
A client was referred to me for some product graphic work due to their internal design teams lack of creative output. So this situation started off from to just 1 flatlay project… To me now having 6 of their major client contracts. The issue now - the internal design team is bitter that the major contracts are being outsourced. (I have an inside source) Now the accounting team has been “taking their time” to pay invoices, all while I’m in the middle of the projects.
Looking for mentorship as I transition from an Advertising CD (art direction) into branding and identity work, as it’s always been a passion of mine. Willing and expectating to pay for training/mentorship and really looking for someone to really help elevate my design skills and set the blueprint for self practice as well as guided reviews and theory. If interested please DM me.
I need help creating a digital portfolio. I’ve been at the same company for 10 years, and that was also the last time I updated my portfolio! I used Wix and had a physical book to show older work before transitioning to digital design, the world has changed. I just need a site with a good template, where I can add my stuff easily on my own and maintain it going forward. Thoughts on where I can have this done? Looking to pay for something good.
I had joined DGE Abu Dhabi as a Product Designer and left my previous local job because I was required to fully focus on this project. After only around one month, my contract was suddenly terminated during probation. This decision had a serious impact on my mental health, career plans, and financial situation. next in the comments
That's good
Did you find out how it was?
I just watched a terrifying video about this they use people to train AI to replace the skills you do. Avoid!
Mercor is legit, but it is one of the bigger companies that AI companies contract with to train their AI models for industry-specific use cases. Obviously, you do what you have to do to survive in this market, but know they are paying you to train your AI replacement.
