After July 1 I felt a pronounced shift to the positive. I even had to turn down a job this week! Maybe it’s the new fiscal year?

That’s great news! Hasn’t hit me yet but now I’m more hopeful 🤞🏻

Left freelancing for a full time gig. Freelancing had been ok this year but I just wanted a change and a new challenge. Seems like ppl I know have continued to be busy though. Also got hit up by an agency recruiter out of the blue today, which maybe indicates things are trending positively? Idk. Seems to vary a lot from person to person. I’m in NYC too.

For what it’s worth I’ve gotten a lot of inquires lately, but everything seems much more fickle. Lower rates and everything dies on the vine before a booking
