So I've been working as a freelance designer for over a year now and just recently started working at an ad agency about 2 weeks ago. This is my first professional job so I'm noob to the biz world.
Anyway, the contract stipulates that I cannot freelance and can only design for the company. Is this common for ad agencies or do I have a control freak for a boss?
They aren't paying me enough to stop freelancing. The other designer that I work with is mediocre, but gets paid more than I do. And the biggest thing is that, I do not want to sign away my creativity!
Should I...
Give them the finger and walk out?
Demand a raise and sign?
Sign it and freelance anyway?
Get over it and sign?
No poll..would rather hear your thoughts.
