I agree with the above: if you don’t have a partner you like working with, go solo and try finding a partner who needs a team mate.

If you know someone who you work well with, stick with them - they are rare. 😉

If you’re asking if you should scramble to find a friend or aquintance to then apply with them or go solo I’d honestly do solo, but also mention you have a partner if they are just looking for teams.

If you have a good partner, pair up for better opportunities.

Don’t pair up with someone significantly weaker than you. You’re better off going it alone.

If you go it alone you might get stuck with someone you hate, or worse, someone you don't do good work with.

Better then solo
