It’s really tough time and the future seems no good. Companies startup, get into loss and shut off in matters of months.

There’s no gaurantee when your company may have to start the lay offs. Barrier of entry ain’t that high either ( I have 3 yoe so mid level) so we are easily replaceable as well.

Starting your own startup seems a good option but finding a good problem first is no easy task.

What would be a smart and wise man’s decision be who has web development skills in this age and time?

    I’m also a web developer/manager and have done occasional client work for the past 2 1/2 years. After getting laid off in June, it’s been a blessing to have client work to help slow the financial bleed while I continue to look for a new job.

    But to be completely honest, it’s not easy to find enough work to do it full-time, especially in the beginning. And now that I’m unemployed, I feel guilty building my company when I should be blasting my resume and looking for steady income.

    I recommend doing it while you’re employed. Build up your clientele and your reputation as a side gig until you feel confident enough to go self-employed full-time.
