I recently experienced a layoff, and it's been a daunting time. The uncertainty of job security is overwhelming, and I constantly find myself wondering if I’ll be next on the chopping block. This has led me to think about my next steps and whether I even want to pursue another job in the same environment that could put me at risk again. The motivation to keep job hunting is dwindling as I grapple with this fear. I’m curious if anyone else has tried alternative paths like freelancing or developing a SaaS product for passive income. I’m looking for insights on whether these options can provide a more stable income compared to traditional employment. If you've ventured into freelancing or SaaS, what has your experience been like? Did it work out better for you?
