I was looking for a job in 2008, unfortunately right during the stock market crash. I would go and interview for jobs and then get a call back saying that hiring was freezing as the national financial markets continued to spiral downwards. Fortunately, companies still needed their websites maintained and I opened up shop for myself below agency rates and above freelancing rates in the hopes of building my own agency. It worked and multiple clients signed on looking to save money and I was able to build and grow a team as a result, eventually working up to market rates as the economy improved.
