I’m not sure whether they liked our solution or our overall approach during the hackathon, but after the event, a recruiter from an outsourcing company called AGAP2 reached out to me.
The opportunity looked interesting, but I couldn’t accept it because it was a full-time role and the working schedule could have slightly interfered with my studies. It could have been a good starting point, but after calculating the time and effort, I realized that by investing the same time into my freelance projects and my own product, I could earn a similar amount with more flexibility and freedom.
If the role had offered a more flexible schedule and a fully remote format, it might have been something to consider. But in the current situation, I believe it is better to keep developing my own projects while also moving closer to the Big Tech direction, where there may be stronger long-term opportunities for long-term growth.
