I've been contracting for a long time. Clients always have deadlines, mostly unrealistic ones. In my experience, business always prioritizes making or saving money ASAP.
What has worked for me is to work hard and fast. Deliver the results. Then take time out. This cycle works for me, because it typically takes some time to secure the next contract. When working on a contract, I don't have time to look for the next one.
- gardennoise 1y agoThat sounds pretty great actually, deadlines don't sound as bad if there is a break in between, in my case the reward for finishing work on time was even more work. How did you get your first contracting gig?
- fullStackOasis 1y agoHey, I'll chime in to say that I've been contracting for 10+ years. I got my first few gigs on CraigsList and Upwork. Sorry to say that neither of those look very good, right now. At least, it takes a lot more work to find gigs on those platforms than it used to.
