Trying to get to know the community a bit more.

If you want to share figures (you don’t have to) you might probably want to use a throwaway account, better safe than sorry.

    I just started going Independent in my field and the earning potential is way higher this way so yes I am happy with my wages. However the job security is way lower and networking is super important. It makes me kind of nervous but last year I made 5x what I did the previous year, so I’m hopeful that I can keep that trend up. Unfortunately this year has turned out to be a lot slower and more tedious than last year, so I had to revise my expectations. Being independent has given me so much more freedom though I don’t think I would ever want to go back to working under someone else.
