I’m almost a year into a corporate gig that pays well (equity) but the work is boring. I’m getting hits for freelance at some more interesting places(agency side). Is the jump worth it given the condition of our industry?

Is this a serious question? Or are you being rhetorical?

If you have a positive job that doesn’t stress just keep it. Jobs are not easy to come by.

Jump!! I did it and have been doing just fine. Especially if you’re already getting hit up. Don’t make decisions based on other people’s fear.

Im freelancing (doing alright) but want the stable inhouse job. wanna switch?
