I'd call 4 out of 6 years working self-employed a long time for a 24 year old. Your snark isn't appreciated.

- etchalon 14y agoA long time for a 24 year old, yes.
- coolsunglasses 14y agoHow long did you contract for before you quit and decided it was somehow easier to found your own company?
- etchalon 14y agoOn and off for the better part of a decade. And let me be clear, "founding my own company" wasn't "easier". It was infinitely harder, though ultimately more rewarding for me.
- coolsunglasses 14y agoI'm contracting specifically so that I can allocate time flexibly in order to found my own company. You're essentially scorning me for taking my own path towards what you did. Baffling hypocrisy.
- etchalon 14y agoI'm not scorning you, whatsoever. I was just discussing why I came to the conclusion that being a contractor makes one no more or less "free" than being salaried, in practical terms anyway.
- vacri 14y agoWhen you try to take the high moral ground while doing the same thing you're deriding, it severely undermines your point.
- dopamean 14y ago4 years is not a long time in any career. 4 years might be a long time to hold your breath or take a shower. But so far as working goes 4 years is a pittance. It may seem long since youre 24 and thats fine I suppose. I'm 27, so not much older than you, and I'm really not trying to condescend. Try to think with some perspective. Also, try to be less sensitive.
