👨💻 Freelancing or Salary Job? 👨💻
Many people have different viewpoints regarding both, and people generally go through this confusion which one to choose. 🤔 There are a lot of misconceptions about Freelancing. 😵 I keep on hearing these statements like "Bro freelancing is Best", "You are your own boss if you are a freelancer" and what not. 😮😲 And the irony is, I get to hear these things from people who have never even tried freelancing 😂 Those who are freelance developers, have a slightly different opinion. 💭
So let's have a look at some pros and cons of freelancing today, and will do it for salaried jobs tomorrow 😁
Pros of Freelancing 🤩
👉 More flexibility, not a 9 to 5 job basically
👉 Many people freelance for side income while they are a student
👉 Earn while you learn. Many people start freelancing while they are still learning a skill
👉 No "Office Politics"
👉 Choose your own work hours
👉 Choose the work you want to do
👉 Bargain the amount you will be getting
Cons of freelancing 😔
👉 Income/Salary is not fixed, it depends on how much work you get
👉 No employee benefits (like holidays, insurance, paid vacations, bonuses, other prizes etc)
👉 Lack of working environment which one gets in office
👉 Again, the employer can also bargain the amount to be paid (taking this point as a pro or con depends on your skills)
👉 Your employer might follow up too much, which makes the job annoying
👉 Frequent changes in deliverables
👉 Unprofessional employers (sometimes)
So I guess you have an idea about freelance jobs now, tomorrow we'll discuss about permanent jobs, then it'll be more clear whether to go for freelancing or permanenet job 😊
