Hi everyone,
First of all, I hated my job. I was always treated unfairly and said yes to everything. I actually disliked people more than my job itself and felt constantly unhappy. However, I was good at freelancing and blogging because there were no offices or startup environments to deal with.
I have about 2 months ahead of me. Currently, I am unemployed (2-3 months). Therefore, I want to start a business. However, I face some challenges due to focus problems, and I am on medication for that. I also have to deal with anxiety and depression. Please consider my situation before making any harsh comments.
Here’s a bit of my background as a Software Developer and what I’m considering:
• Upwork:
• Since May, I have earned $850.
• Completed 2 jobs with good reviews.
• primarily a frontend developer.
• Rising Talent.
• On the verge of getting a 100% success rate on Upwork.
• Earn around $400 monthly from Upwork.
• However, this is not enough to support myself living in Europe.
• Blogging:
• Decided to start a blog website.
• Plan to write about mental health and have a small store in the future.
• My website, Coding Life Mindfully, is live.
• I enjoy writing and blogging.
• All content is my own work.
• I can develop templates for websites and plan to add a store.
• Own Project:
• Participated in the Microsoft Startup program.
• Tried to launch a Flutter project (mobile app development).
• The project is niche and based on my experiences.
• Couldn’t succeed due to the need for a team and financial constraints.
• Haven’t had a full-time job since May 15.
• Full-Time Job Search:
• Struggling to find a job despite having a good CV.
• Haven’t been invited to interviews.
• Need a full-time job but can’t seem to secure one.
• No offense, I think the reasons here are that I come from another country, I am a woman and I am directly eliminated when they look at my name
I want to become my own boss in the future, but I need short-term financial stability. I am looking for a plan that allows me to sustain myself without constantly shifting my focus elsewhere.
Any advice or insights from another perspective would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
