I don't get it. What would look bad? You're working, right?

You're good. If you're worried, just leave those three months off your resume. Nobody is going to check.

Nope!

Yes but left a full time position to freelance. So my resume would show freelance for only 3 months. I know if it was a full time job for only 3 months that would look bad so I was wondering if the same applies for freelance

No

No.

Nope. You're good.

Thanks guys!

It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
