As a frelancer: Many fucking meetings, last minute request, clients/bosses thinking days last 10 hours and no way to prove overtime other than work. Sometimes, you are even punished with less money for being efficient.

Be an asshole, sign a contract with a budget, get paid start and end, respect yourself more than you respect your clients. Clients are assholes until proven otherwise.

    Also be aware of manipulation too - often times clients will play nice to get more shit for free

    @chonky-quiche Very true. But you can filter them by making boundaries and charge them on any extra features outside scope.

    Just need to find a balance, most of the times everything must be clear at the start of the project, or meeting new client.
    You have to set them boundaries.
