I'm starting to feel burned out by the constant rejections on Contra. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
Even when I did land projects, I often had to chase clients just to get them to sign the contract or make the payment. It feels like I'm doing the platform's job instead of focusing on the work.
I'm beginning to wonder if Contra simply isn't the right platform—or attracting the right clients—for someone in my role.
I'm giving both myself and Contra until the end of the year. If things don't improve, it may be time to move on.
I'd genuinely love to hear about other people's experiences.
