How did you get your first job on Contra?
I'm new here and would really appreciate a bit of advice from people who remember getting started.
Did your first client come from applying to a job, someone finding your profile, or getting to know people in the community?
I'd love to hear what helped you get that first opportunity, and anything you wish you'd known at the start. Thanks!
