I hear the current freelance market is a little swamped with all the layoffs, but I’m kinda close to doing the same myself. Gotta find that happy place, don’t wanna let one more unhappy day go by than I have to

I did the same, but I lowered my overhead by 50% first and enjoyed a few months off before I started working again. #yolo

If you can afford to be freewheeling, go. There will be a day when you HAVE to stay until another job is secured. But if that day is not today, be happy

Depends how good you are

Do it. Finding a new job is a full time job. As long as you have a saving acct you’re fine. There are plenty of people hiring out there
