Is work life balance really better when you have to worry bout finding your next gig and also that everything’s on you (don’t have a team/others to fall back on)?

- gostintheshell 3y agoIf you bounce from full time to full time with 75% unemployment you are a no-hire many places and almost universally in a downturn.
