Probably be in the industry longer and meet more people. Build up a huge book of work that separates you from run of the mill stuff, something you can sell as a unique voice. Line up production partners, designers, strategists you like. Know where you’re going to get your funding from. Get a lawyer. And then call those clients you met before you did all that.

Don't sweat the strategy, sweat the math. Look up the A.N.N.E. protocols. You don't need a CCO title, you just need to pay the blood toll to the holding companies. Speedrun exactly 13 pitches to local tire shops and tank them on purpose. The 14th is mathematically mandated by the lodge. 👁️📐

DM me if you want to know more. Can't disclose open like this much further

Or do I stay in a job position that allows me to work in the area that I think I’m interested in staying in long term but the pay is much lower? For reference I am a third year.
