More like, freelancing until something worth it comes along. Otherwise, the freedom and sanity is too good to give up.

My exact thoughts

๐Ÿ‘Ž Nope. Enjoy the freedom and no politics waaay too much. And no phone call directed by the holding company to reduce staff!

Yes. But it took hard work to get going. Itโ€™s like starting any business. You have to market yourself and connect. I was cocooned on staff for years and only went to a select events. After leaving staff, it was like no one knew me, even though I had been here and producing for years. Now itโ€™s paying off.

NO! Left full-time by choice. Never going back.

Full time is over-rated. Better to charge a solid day rate, do your job and git out

Hey! This is a difficult question but here it goes...

I started freelancing in digital marketing in 2018 and I created an agency, it's not legally registered but I have been using the name and putting myself out there as an agency.

In 2021 I started working at another agency and they made signed a non compete agreement. I left that job a few months ago and I'm back to freelancing but I'm worried about the agreement potentially being a pain in the # now or in the near future. Any advice?

At what point do you begin to feel numb (if ever) when youโ€™re done trial and prepping for another trial in a span of 3 months, while mains full caseload of other active litigation cases? Should I be worried that Iโ€™m going from engaged and stress to numb and slightly indifferent? Or is this what it feels like to power through? I canโ€™t gauge it anymore? And canโ€™t impose judgment one way or another either.
