Paul

Sometimes freelancing feels a bit like online dating did:

1. >50% ghosting rate.

2. 'I appreciate your professionalism / honesty / clear communication' is 'you're a really nice guy'.

3. Never knowing whether you'll get past the first call.

4. Occasionally your mates will try and suggest someone for you.

5. Unreasonable expectations / requirements (>6ft, >£75k vs must quote for and fix this bespoke app by tomorrow morning based on a vague description).

@pwaring And dates would be more honestly called sex interviews.
