50 (ish) k milestone!
Finally got to 50k paid out! I mostly do coding and some STEM and generalist stuff. When I first started I worked 30+ hours a week, now I'm getting to the end of postgrad and have much less time and free brain space sadly.
I generally always have something I COULD work on, but I have my preferences and generally won't do projects I don't find fun.
The uncertainty and imposter syndrome are real, but it's been incredible both from a financial standpoint (I was able to go on a dream holiday, upgrade my laptop, start a bunch of new hobbies, and save up for a big move next year) and I have also become a much better coder from working with so many different codebases and frameworks.
In the spirit of not just bragging, what's everyone's hobbies to balance out their DA screentime? I've been getting really into watercolour painting recently.
