Absolutely agree on all, just a pity some companies continue to shave here and there on so many of these basics. I'd also add clear invoicing and payment processes and for companies to be aware and make provisions for the fact that not all freelancers have the ability to cover increasingly high and time-consuming pre-travel costs, particularly visas. Thanks for the post, it's a subject many shy away from as it's sometimes considered to be being difficult.
Another gem of a newsletter!! I just received an email canceling my 5 games ($335) 36 hrs in advance! Looked at contract and sure enough it said 24 hr notice is all they need to give. Thank you for this email bc now I will ask for kill fee terms.
Thank you, Oscar, for passing on your valuable wisdom. I am loving your course, too. Can’t wait for the resources section.
Knowledge is power. In all thy getting, get wisdom!

Thank you, Julie.
I always say that companies alone are not the problem. They are trying to optimize their business.
It is our obligation as employees or freelancers to decide what we are willing to accept and what we are not.
We have to learn the basics and be sure to ask for what we consider the minimum we want.
