Congratulation !🚀 Was your first job something the client reached out to you for, or did you pitch for it? Would you mind sharing some of your experience and tips? thanks
Hey Vikiiing! It was a job I applied for, and if I remember right it happened to pop up as I was checking the jobs tab, so I was likely one of the first applicants. So it may pay to be early! I was also lucky that they became a return customer for a few other jobs.
AMAZING! $50K in 2026
