I don't know if the market is completely dead. I am not even looking and still have people reach out to me if I am interested.
Starting out on freelancing now is probably rough because you need to compete with the ones who have been freelancing for years with very good reputations and connections with agencies/design studios.
You should always have a plan b because in life, you just never know.
- I have been freelance for over two years now_And it is just rough. Im tired of people blanketing the fact. I have amazing connections with my agencies and headhunters. Headhunters are now complaining to me how people are undermining them doing their job.********
- head hunters crying to me now about how people under mind them and what it is that they are trying to do.********
- It's a fucking recession.********
- The market is not dead, but people are hoarding money as if it is going out of style. The laws of physics will tell you********
- If you hold on to money, your buyers will hold on to theirs.********
- 2 years freelance experience isn't that much and headhunters usually suck regardless of recession or not.tkmeister
- 2 years of my freelance work is more experience than 2 years of your agency work. Headhunters are amazing. Sorry you feel differently.********
- I get to go in and out of each company, see what works, see what doesn't, and take that knowledge with me to the next place.********
- I avoid office politics, have the freedom to make my own schedule, and continue to work towards the idea of me being my own boss.********
- My own boss.********
