ok, so i just had a long interview with a in-house corporate place... i was excited before i went in, and the whole interview (2 hours) went well and i was able to meet with everyone that i'd be working with... seemed like i had a great interview!
so now, i don't want to work there at all:-(the whole concept of working on one intranet site all day just bores me to none other... i miss my old projects and need more of them to keep afloat, but to have less money and no health insurance would be fairly risky in my situation right now... but i'd really consider keeping my freelance going full time just to NOT have this job.
Anyone hate their corporate job? (or better yet!), anyone want to convince me that freelance is the way to go for cool projects!??
(not much convincing needed)

i thin k you should take it before you end up like me, grumpy and living with my parents getting tanked off the 0.2% beer they sell at safeway. |:

It could start off with one boring intranet site but they may decide to create a whole bunch of interesting projects for you. Something like that happened to me.

Screw corpoarte work.. do freelance if u need money get a side job doing something dumb to pay the bills and build up ur client list

I did a four year stint for the man, after doing 5 years of solo work.
I enjoyed the steady paycheque and never having to track down clients for checks...
but I busted out in Jan 2003, and I am back to where I was, I picked up quite a bit of knowledge ie corporate etc....so I guess if you can take anything from the position go for it, maybe just sign in for a 6 month trial.

nothing wrong with corporate america (or corporate anywhere).... work and do freelance on the side... nothing like the bread and butter to keep you alive... guaranteed paychecks and insurance is something noone should be without... the freelance will keep you day job exciting, trust me...
been doing it for 4 years... the man is ok!

been an in-house desinger for 3 years
It only started with one site but now have almost 7 sites under me within this place. Some big and tedious but some are a cool challenge and a very big playground.
I miss the freelance stuff a little but if you have a bad week you don't have to worry about what you're going to pay the rent with :)

well you might if your company was going and under and your boss keeps telling you the check is in the mail ]:
