Why Contracting Beats the Job-Hunting Bias
Description
After 15 years as a career coach, Uli Schild, aka Mr Career Tick, is pulling back the curtain on the one career move that’s helped hundreds of clients (and himself) stay sane, solvent, and strategic: contracting.
In this episode, Uli shares 10 smart, experience-backed reasons why contracting isn’t just a fallback—it’s a future-proof strategy for professionals who are tired of the corporate circus, stuck in the job hunt, or craving more freedom and impact.
Learn how contractors skip bias filters and land roles faster, why cash flow, negotiation power, and personal branding all thrive in contract roles, and finally, discover what freedom really looks like—and how to design a career that supports your life, not the other way around.
Whether you’re burned out, overqualified, or just ready to move differently, this episode is your permission slip to rethink what stability really means.
