How much would I regret going freelance?
I'm in a very strange situation at the moment. I've been working for an indie publisher for almost 3 years now and I've come to sort of despise my job - not cause of the industry or the work, but because of the company and the projects I get to work on. I've been actively flirting with the idea of quitting and using my skills to set up my own business and do contract work!
I know I've got the know-how, the dedication, the willingness to put myself out there and, crucially, the funds to tide myself over for a while as I build up a client base. But the industry seems so precarious and gruelling at the moment, that I'm incredibly hesitant to take the plunge.
Has anyone been in a similar situation recently? If so, do you have any words of advice?
