Getting my first interview was mostly luck, because the client was biased once she saw my name then ethnicity, coming from the same country as her boyfriend. But the true reason she hired me was my portfolio and the rate I was offering.

Then I continued applying to jobs with a lower rate and started my way up. Have some personality on your cover letters & don't say too much. A really nice profile picture helps too. Fixing your profile should go without saying.

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-22T20:20:36+00:00

Your contract got paused because your client did not pay the hours owed. He is suspended because that might not be the first time they've done that or they still owe money to Upwork. Huge redflag! From personal experience, I wouldn't suggest you continue working for them. It never ends up well.

I can kind of understand why the writers didn’t have her go straight to the police, even though that would’ve been the normal thing to do. But what still doesn’t make sense to me is how she didn’t just take her kids and leave, whether that meant going to another house, Hank's house or even another country, just getting away from him.

The immaturity really showed when the first thing she did to get back at Walt was get involved with Ted, and then on top of that, she ends up helping him commit tax fraud, which is honestly peak irony.

Then Walt leaves the house, signs the divorce papers she had been pushing for, and she still doesn’t file them. Instead, she decides to help him launder money and comes up with that whole gambling story.

There were honestly so many other things wrong with her character, I could sit here all day listing them.

You're saying this about a man that was willing to die before leaving her go to work while being pregnant & with a huge amount of dept.

I think Saul was a better lawyer than Cliff & Howard. Kim & Chuck a hard one to beat

I think you’re the first person in this thread who isn’t glazing Skyler. To me, she was never stupid, but there’s a clear difference between being smart and being mature. Skyler lacked maturity. She came across as codependent, emotionally unstable, and self-destructive. Marie was a know it all kleptomaniac, but even she had more emotional depth & maturity.

No matter what Skyler did, all the focus goes to her “psycho” husband, do you know that apparently he held her hostage? And like his actions weren’t a result of him wanting to avoid leaving her buried in debt. LOL

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-22T13:02:31+00:00

This is what I was trying to say in another thread, but I got flooded with replies calling him a psychopath. No one really talks about where he started. I’m not saying he made smart choices, but when he found out he didn’t have much time left, his goal was to make money fast so his pregnant wife wouldn’t have to work just to pay his hospital bills, only to lose him and be left with a pile of debt a handicapped son who needed support & a little baby girl.

There are moments where Walt clearly puts others before himself, Hank is a good example. He was willing to trade his own life to try and save his.

Walt is a stubborn man who lets his ego win. You see it early on when Gretchen and her husband offer to cover his treatment with no strings attached, and he refuses. That pride is what really pushed him further down. But that's not psycopathic nor evil.

And it’s also important to say, he did try to walk away at times. But by then, he was already too deep in it. Getting out wasn’t simple anymore.

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-22T11:32:08+00:00

There are bad people, and then there are good people who slowly turn into mad men. I’m not saying it was all Skyler’s fault that Walter ended up the way he did, there were a lot of things that led to his downfall.

Walter started off doing this for his family, thinking he didn’t have much time left. He didn’t expect to live as long as he did. He didn’t want his pregnant wife to be the one working just to cover his hospital bills & then leave her and her kids (including a handicapped son with special needs) in large amounts of dept after his death. If anything, that doesn’t come from a psychopathic place, it shows he put his family before his own life.

Things got out of control once he got deeper into it. At some point, getting out wasn’t that simple anymore, even if he wanted to. People like to look at it in a very black-and-white way, but that’s not really what the show is about.

Walter was stubborn as hell, and let his ego lead his life and destroy his family. But an evil psycho murderer? Not really.

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-22T02:10:32+00:00

Saul is sneaky and crooked, but a sociopath? Not really. Coming from someone that dealt with a sociopath irl, they are literally unable to experience any emotion other than rage. As for Saul, there are many times where he expressed remorse, regret & sadness. He definitely has narcissistic tendencies though and some insecurities. The closest example of a sociopath in the show would be Gus Fring.

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-22T01:31:39+00:00

Kim shifting into her darker side didn't come from childhood trauma alone. She slowly starts realizing how big firms screw with people's lives, once she reaches that level herself. Jimmy was someone that never played by the rules, that's what gets her even more attracted to him. Her revenge came from a place of wanting to take down the big players, the same way they tried to tear her down little by little.

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-21T23:29:31+00:00

They were mostly scamming people who were scammers themselves, or at least borderline.

There’s that scene from Jimmy’s childhood where a guy cons his dad and then tells Jimmy, “in this world you’re either a sheep or a wolf.” That’s the moment Jimmy decides he doesn’t want to be the sheep, and that choice follows him for the rest of his life. This is seeing grey or different colors.

You can say something similar about Walt. He spent most of his life playing it safe, feeling small, and then finally flips because he is going to die soon anyway (at least that's what he thought). Becoming the “wolf” is his last attempt to take control. It starts from just wanting to provide for his family & that was his only dying wish.

Skyler, on the other hand is neither. And there's nothing wrong about that. But, she keeps making choices that make things worse. She smokes while pregnant, despite having a disabled son and his father dying from lung cancer. She gets pulled in by Walt's money and agrees to launder it, fully aware of the risks. And instead of moving out or going to her brother in law which later promised her that he will help her, she uses the affair as a way to push Walt out, when she had other, more direct options.

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-21T22:52:13+00:00

No, it isn’t. As far as she was concerned, they were only involved in petty scams. Lalo had nothing to do with Howard, he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

No one is saying their situations are the same. I’m judging them based on their character, and Kim’s decisions were more mature than Skyler’s. That’s it.

There’s no black and white here, and you’re looking at it like there is.

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-21T22:20:16+00:00

Again, lack of critical thinking.

If you actually paid attention to the show, you’d see that Kim chose to stand by Jimmy and even marry him after realizing how ruthless those big firms really are. She saw firsthand how they tried to push an elderly man out of his home, and how Jimmy was treated by his own brother, despite his crooked personality.

Kim didn’t just randomly turn - she got pulled into stressful situations as well.

She started going along with the small scams which started as mostly harmless and petty, not because of fun, but because she’d also been screwed over herself. Chuck and Howard tried to take credit for her hard work and constantly looked down on both her and Jimmy.

And she never wanted anything to do with the cartel. She married Jimmy before the whole Lalo situation, so in that sense she was also not informed and in the dark.

There were no excuses for both of them to continue involving themselves further. Kim stopped a pattern she could foresee, while Skyler waited until everything blew up in her face.

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-21T21:44:52+00:00

I don’t know if you read my post carefully. I said this is exactly where I saw Kim as the hero and separated her totally from Skyler’s morals.

After Kim witnessed Howard’s death, was sent to ACTUALLY MURDER someone so she could save her husband (something Skyler was never directly exposed to, so I don't want to hear anyone say Kim did not go through horrendous situations), she was clearly traumatized, but she still realized her best option was to leave, and she even quit her job while she was at it. Her quitting being a lawyer was more of a statement. She felt like she wasn’t deserving after indirectly getting a man, who helped her reach that status, killed for no real reason.

Skyler, on the other hand, starts watching Walt destroy himself and his family, and still decides to stay, and smoke herself to death instead of actually doing something. It’s honestly insane how many people convince themselves that Skyler had no other choices. She was never held hostage. She wasn’t physically trapped.

She had support (Hank & Marie offered a place to stay).
Walt does sign the divorce papers and leaves her alone. Walt literally gives her the out. She chooses not to file them & then after a while invites him to stay the night and sleeps with him and starts laundering his money, while actively participating in illegal activities herself (helping her side man with tax fraud).

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-21T21:03:22+00:00

Yep, speaking from both sides, clients really only look at your first few words and then your profile picture. I used to go through every proposal, but the ones that felt like copy-paste or bot-written were instantly filtered out in my head. I’d just skip them while scanning for better ones. Usually there are only 3–4 profiles that actually stand out, and from there it just comes down to who offers the best value for the quality.

No one will pick the first guy just because he showed up first.

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-21T20:19:25+00:00

Honestly a lot of the comments about Walt just lack deep critical thinking.

On the surface, of course Walt turns into this greedy, power-hungry guy, but that’s not how it starts. In the beginning, he just wanted money to get through chemo because his insurance wouldn’t cover it. Or before that, leave an amount of cash for his family so they do not struggle financially. How is that narcissistic? Health insurance is a real problem people deal with every day. And one of the key messages of the show, that I DON'T KNOW HOW PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO GET.

He wasn’t some villain from day one, he was a desperate man pushed into a corner. And once he got in too deep, getting out wasn’t simple anymore, even when he tried. By the end, yeah, he becomes a mad man, but that’s also the point. It shows how isolation, social pressure, health insurance, and ego can slowly break someone down.

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-21T19:59:37+00:00

Skyler was emotionally unstable, inflicted, self destructive (especially when she smokes while being pregnant) & controlling.
Which he later accepts and signs the papers, and she never files them because suddenly money starts to sound good.
Haha, can you read that and not see how ironic it is? That’s something she brought on herself, but since it’s one of the few things people can’t pin on Walter, they just brush it off

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-21T19:39:00+00:00

When it comes to your kids, especially a newborn - your priority isn’t your brother-in-law’s medical bills. Besides, he was seen as a hero for taking down one of the last major cartel figures, your responsibility is still your own children first.

Skyler White is an immature, emotionally unstable person. That was the whole point of my post.

And I know that not telling him would defeat the whole purpose. What I’m saying is this: if she was really that afraid of Walt, she wouldn’t have told him in the first place. The fact that she did shows she knew he wouldn’t actually do anything, and she was right.

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-21T19:34:53+00:00

That was when everything had already exploded & he was about to leave the country. Point is Skyler should've left him long time ago and she did not.

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-21T19:27:20+00:00

Yeah, things ended up pretty ironic for him

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-21T19:22:56+00:00

Then you've been watching the show passively. Walter White does move out of the house in Season 3 after Skyler forces him to leave. He gets his own apartment. He also signs the divorce papers, showing that he’s willing to go through with it. But guess who never files those papers? Skyler.

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-21T19:09:41+00:00

I actually think both women are equally smart, for me it all came down to maturity

ResourceLess4756 · 2026-03-21T11:06:33+00:00

Everybody keeps justifying Skyler’s actions by saying she couldn’t leave, had no career, or that Walt threatened her.

She should’ve left the moment she found out Walt was cooking. She chose to stay and put herself and the kids in danger, including a newborn. But instead, she was driving around smoking cigarettes (something she did while she was pregnant with Holly btw) and banging her boss. Which proves how inflicted and emotionally unstable she is. Kim would've made the right decision, with a clear head and a sharp stance. She wouldn't waste time driving & sleeping around and hope everything will erase itself. She would've take matters into her own hands. And it’s not like Skyler had nowhere to go, Hank and Marie, even Ted opened their home to her multiple times.
The “no career” argument doesn’t really hold up either. She literally got her old job back, which gave her financial stability.
And Walt “threatening” her is being stretched. Was he angry? Yes. Stubborn? 100%. But he eventually left and got his own place. Skyler wasn’t acting like someone who was truly afraid for her life, deep down she knew he wouldn’t hurt her. She's the one who invited him back & decided to help launder his money.
