I am wondering if anyone here worked for the man and decided that wasn't for them. Thus you went the freelance/consulting route? If so, how and where did you get your clients? Also, are you able sustain yourself, do you ever struggle financially and or you are able to make more money being independent?
I'm just starting out on this route and seeking advice overall on this.
Any other devs (front end, back end and or mobile) here now on unemployment or are on and off Obama's payroll?
If so why?
1. Lack of experience
2. You did a start-up for long time & having trouble finding regular work (that's me).
3. Something else?
I hate being unemployed and feel working on my start-up for over four years alone in my garage has handicapped me professionally. Since the investment money ran out for my start-up, I have had two front-end dev jobs. Both positions were at local digital web agencies and both lasted under a year. Since getting laid off from the last job Ive had a hell of time getting my next job. I have 22 months of professional experience and 3 years of coding for my start-up.
I wonder if there are similar stories and experiences fellow members here faced? Also, what did you do to land your next coding job or what are you doing now?
