    I work in games. Its fucking incredible looking at my linkedin. I would say about 80% of my coworkers throughout my career are out of work right now. I started my own company because I was sick of it.

      I’m genuinely curious to hear how you’ve found it easier to land clients than employers. In my experience, you really need a good in with a bigger firm if you’re going to have any hope of launching a business. Unless your old employer is jettisoning their contracts as quickly as they jettison their staff, that can be tricky.
