If you aren’t married or partnered with someone for health insurance, be prepared to add 500-900 to your monthly bills.

Don’t forget about owing taxes and be sure to save every receipt on anything indefinitely to fight the IRS.

If you don’t have roommates and/or 6+ months of savings, money will be always tight.

If you don’t have a preexisting network, you will likely have to work for less.

Otherwise you’ll be fine! 🤡

Are you new here? Have you seen the current market? Also, are you new here?

Keep your day job. Try to take on some freelance but do it on DL . I say “try” b/c the market is horrific right now.

Barring the occasional oasis, most of us who are consistently booked solid have been in a desert for a year now.

Can you explain how it seems more appealing when it offers less job security and no health insurance?

likesmart

Work from anywhere, flexible hours, no office politics and corporate nonsense, fewer meetings, building a business, being able to turn down sh*tty work, taking time off without begging for permission. I know freelancing is not all peaches and cream, but there's more to life than health insurance and the perception of job security. I'm definitely not ready to cast it all aside but I don't know how I'm supposed to do this for another 30 years

Um…don’t do this right now. There are creatives with award winning work and large networks that haven’t had work in months. Most long time freelancers are saying this has been worse then the 2008 recession in finding work. Yes project based work is up but it’s very, very competitive to land those projects.

Hi Everyone,

I am currently working at Meta as a Recruiting Coordinator under contract. That contract will soon come to term in July. There hasn’t been any talks about extending my contract, so I am getting very nervous about potentially being out of work in July. I am a first gen corporate worker, and I have about 5 years of experience in recruitment. I have also recently finished my Masters in HR Management, so I wanted to jump on here and see if anyone has any tips for landing a new role?

Im looking to transition myself back to IT/Tech, but am feeling apprehensive in getting the attention of recruiters with the industry switch. Any advice from anyone that’s been in a similar situation?
