In this episode, we share insights into transitioning from a freelance career to joining a U.S. startup as a contractor. We discuss the joys of collaboration, the guidance of having supervisors, and adapting to a team environment after years of independent work. Learn about the challenges of meeting deadlines, navigating a second language in the workplace, and embracing the startup's open communication culture. Join us as we navigate the complexities of balancing freelance flexibility with the structure of corporate work.
