How does anybody feel about the amount of work received at the moment?
I notice a major decrease since January.
Consequently I am looking to complement my income or convert my skills to apply for other types of work.
How are you complementing your income if this is your case?
Or
Have you started a completely different type of work, or aspiring to something new?

Tour guide May 22, 2023

I suggest becoming a tour guide for translators to visit the main capitals of today's still flourishing translation industry:

Visit "London" and see the Tower, the head building of major translation farms:

Including an early bird flight offer with Air Moldova, a welcome cocktail and a local tour guide ("Tomaș in Chișinău").

Don't miss our autumn offer to visit Cologne (Germany), the home of DeepL. And a lynch mob tour to Maidenhead (England), to meet in person the programmers of one of the most important CAT tools!
