This may get me some hate from y'all but let me make a confession here.

I have taken away clients from my previous bosses when they made the mistake of giving the client direct access to me outside the company.

It happened in 2019, my manager gave the client my phone number so they could directly call me and assign me tasks. Well, I left that company and took the client away with me. Heck, I even made more money for the next 4 months from the client than the company was paying me.

Again in 2023 when I left my job, I sent out LinkedIn requests to all members of the client's org, hoping that they'd remember me and reach out for projects. Well, 2 months into leaving the company, they did reach out and now I'm making 3X what I was making before.

I'd do it again in the future again and again. If YOU and I partner up to work for a client, I will make sure that you are out of the equation ASAP.

There, I said it. I've done it twice and I'll do it again in the future.

    Cutting out the middle men is the best thing you can do to keep your sanity.

    I remember that the company i work for has policies against this, because in the past a lot of people did that apparently.

    Ofcourse, there are backdoors and exploits.

    You gotta do what you gotta do to make more than $8 an hour as a developer.

    @Demolishun If you did the conversions from INR to USD you would realise that it was wayyy less than $8 an hour.

    It's even mentioned in my resume video.
