Good morning, Marketer, are you certain you want to go freelance? In Mondayâs newsletter, Kim wrote about the Great Resignation: âIn article after article, I am reading that marketers are choosing the freelance life,â so they can work with âclients of their own choosing, in their preferred location, and at the hours that suit them best.â Freelancing is not always so idyllic. Clients will demand you be available for early morning Zoom meetings and late night calls to discuss the âcouple of changesâ that need to be made to your work. Youâll likely have to master skills that are out of your wheelhouse. Ask yourself: are you really a natural salesperson, or accounts receivable clerk? And the pressure of making payroll, when feeding your family is on the line, can be overwhelming. If freelancing is the path youâve chosen, Godspeed. But if youâre working in-house at a company or agency, please take our 2022 MarTech Salary and Career Survey. It takes less than 5 minutes to complete. We look forward to sharing the results with you all. Chris Elwell CEO, Third Door Media |
