The older we get, the more fucked we are
At my age, keeping my job is paramount because if I’m let go, I truly believe it’s the end of me in this field. So I strive to do the best work, while using a lifelong career of client skills to keep them happy. It’s all I can do.
Recently left CD role at great agency to go freelance. Need to make my life’s money now.
In this market? The cojones 👏👏
Who says you have to be underpaid to do great work?

Yup. I chased great work my whole career and have as good a book as I could by now. Just won loads at Cannes too which helps. 🤞🏻
I appreciate the semblance of stability.
