    It's hard to say. I hired a young freelancer once..fresh out of school with no corporate work in their portfolio, and you know what? It took them FOREVER to do something that should have taken a couple of hours tops.

    The presumption is that someone with no corporate experience may not understand project deadlines, how to interact with a client, budgetary constraints, etc. If you're so amazing and corporate work is so easy for you, then make sure your prospective employers know that you GET IT. If you owned a company whose bills were paid by corporate work, would you hire you?
