I started freelancing when I was in college in 2023, I started with a profile on Upwork. I had projects and knowledge got one or two jobs that I essentially did for free, one of them turned into a long term gig (>2 years). Alongside this I also was working an internship where they had more or less handed the development of an MVP solely to me, I leveraged this and turned the internship into an hourly contract at a decent rate. I worked in Flutter (a lot of Flutter, often nitty gritty), React and Nextjs.

Now all of these contracts have ended and I made the mistake of not networking more during that time and pushing some work through Upwork to get more ratings. I also got caught up with my college and couldn't pay attention to finding more work last few months.

Now when I try to get back to Upwork, finding work seems much more difficult? So many open jobs that never hire? Is it just because I'm coming back after long? In general I feel a little lost and underconfident about finding good work again after this almost an year long break now. Could really use any advice from fellow freelancers. Thanks!

I thought PMA had easier questions in the first half but a little difficult later on, but definitely not as easy as some other years have been.

PMB seemed very doable at first look but I got my thoughts all jumbled up while getting into the details and did not solve very many got too wound up, made some very simple mistakes.

This year M Math is being offered at ISI Delhi and ISI Kolkata. I noticed the SMU deptt of Delhi seems to be a smaller deptt that in other ISIs. Does anyone here have any experience with that deptt and would it be a smart idea to go there over Kolkata?
