Congrats on the new job!! I can relate to the feeling - when I got laid off I started a company and thought that was all I wanted to do, and I never wanted to work a 9-5 again. About 6 months in, I completely changed my mind and want to go back to a 9-5!! A stable income is part of that, but for me, those bullet points you mentioned about working alone being isolating is so real. I also learned that I just don't like some of the main aspects of growing the business (sales and marketing are not my thing), which are things I don't have to do at a 9-5 (since my background is operations/engineering). There's no shame in changing your mind and redirecting to a new opportunity! Congrats and good luck Monday!!
Thank you so much Maria!! I appreciate you sharing your experience. I am VERY glad to be rid of some administrative aspects of freelancing.... *cough cough* constantly pitching myself to people lol Glad to know I'm not alone in feeling like this. Thanks for the encouragement!
