Is it a wild idea to quit a job and go freelance right now? How many of you are working freelance and getting regular gigs? Would you say it's harder doing it solo than in a team?

As a freelance accountant, I can tell you that quitting your job to go freelance isn’t a wild idea—it’s a bold move that can pay off if you’re prepared. I’ve been freelancing for a few years now, and while it took some time to build a steady client base, I’m getting regular gigs through referrals, online platforms, and networking. That said, going solo is definitely harder than working in a team—you’re responsible for everything, from finding clients and managing deadlines to handling your own taxes and marketing. But if you’re organized, self-motivated, and ready to hustle, the freedom and flexibility of freelancing can be incredibly rewarding!

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
