I am beginning to wonder if it is easier. If I had skills, I would consider it. You just have to look for a need in your area, or if there is a online need.

Believe me, it’s not. You need to create your own client base, be your own collections agency for clients that don’t pay. Plus it takes a long time to get any sort of stability. On the plus side, you are your own boss and your success 100% relies on yourself and not others. SO that’s the trade off in my opinion.

I don’t have a collections agency for any of my businesses. If they don’t pay, then I don’t ship the product lol. Also for software it’s even easier to just cut their access

I swear the years i've spent job hunting were enough to build a company from ground up and it would be thriving by now.

I was on a partner/manager call today and they were discussing the “high” turnover at the senior and experienced associate level. What was shocking is that while ours is about double normal, evidently we are 3 out of 4 in turnover meaning 2 of the Big 4 are even higher.

Additional Posts in Unemployed

If 2+ people submit a referral on your behalf at their company for a position you recently applied for, does it make you stand out even more/increase your chances of getting an interview vs. just 1?

Do you guys feel like Biden is actually the cause of the unemployment rate being down? In 18 states where the rate is down significantly, 15 of them are run by republicans... just saying. Everyone's praising him for bringing the economy back but I'm still unemployed...and the cost of living is more pricey than ever.
