There's truth in it, but at the same time, we are in one of the most remote work friendly industries. Check out threads by https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring and post there too (a while ago posted there, got a decent gig offered in a few days), you should be able to find something :)
- philbarr 11y agoI appreciate everyone's comments, but this doesn't help me with what I'm supposed to do tomorrow besides: "get a decent consulting gig."
- p1esk 11y agoTomorrow you go in, and tell them that you want to get paid for the work you've done so far, and you want to get paid now. If they start with any excuses, you simply get up and leave. Lesson learned (hopefully). If they agree, you get paid, and then establish your pay rate going forward. I recommend charging a market rate (whatever a good software engineer will charge you in your country for similar type contract work). Oh, and make sure you have a good looking portfolio (or github account).
