I never needed sleep to have spiders.

Sort of. I left FTE for this in July 2021. It’s feast or famine. You’re going to need a steady stream of jobs and the ability to say no, but that only comes after an abundance of saying yes to everything, sleepless nights of working your ass off, until finally it becomes steady.

It’s not for the faint of heart.

I’ve almost done 3 years in as an independent. Don’t do it if you don’t have multiple faucets providing gigs for you. I make 2x my FTE salary, but it ebbs and flows.

If you are not already connected, don’t do it.

Edit: added “3”. No time context before.

That’s half my rate to fuck Boebert…allegedly.
