- calmworm 3y ago… but can also lead to burnout. I’ve worked in a number of industries in a number of roles for others and myself. I’ve burned out faster working for some employers than others but also while on my own projects. I absolutely prefer working for myself, but it hasn’t saved me from hitting walls now and again.
- boredemployee 3y agoThe thing is when you work for yourself you don't need to pretend you're being productive.
- herbst 3y ago100% agree. But you need to know when a project is over for you. You need a plan how a project ends or is passed to someone else. Having your own thing, and nobody else to blame, can be very stressful as well. But only if you don't know when it's time to move on.
