That's a difficult question to answer. Several independent developers have gone on to become freelancers, but it requires more work on your end for an unknown payoff. The pay off of being a freelancer is that you are in charge of your own schedule and can also pick projects that are an interest. The downside is the risk you take when there's no safety net underneath you--it forces entrepreneurial skills out of design if your freelance income falls short due to factors outside of your control (like bad project selection or labor policies). So while you always have the opportunity for summer-long vacations, there's also no getting away from the stress of having money dry up because unforeseen challenges arose.

There are many factors to consider before making the leap into independent work. Freelancers are at risk for uncertain paychecks, invoicing issues, and because they're not guaranteed a full-time job, freelancing can be expensive because there's no one else to help shoulder the financial burden of their business. Especially in this economy. So should you freelance? Ask yourself this question first: what gives me more satisfaction--getting paid to do an enjoyable thing I love working on every day OR getting paid to do an unpleasant thing someone else tells me what work on every day? No matter your answer, it's probably best if you keep things steady with a conventional day job while making freelancing your side project for now.

The short answer is yes. How to decide? If you enjoy working, freelancing can be a very rewarding way to make money doing what you like to do. If you don't enjoy working (which would make things difficult in the long term), freelancing probably won't help much either. Please bear in mind that self-employed people usually work more than employees, so if time has become an issue for you then it's best not to freelance. Many of us prefer not to stay trapped in any job for too long because we realize that creative peaks are important and occur only when creative discomfort is present.

It's a good option if you have the right skills and you don't want to work for someone else. A freelancer typically has their own business. In the past, this was more common among painters, writers, other artists and artisanal professions, but in today's challenging economy it is also being seen among designers from architecture firms that have been laid off or lost contracts with clients. As a freelancer, there are fewer expenses to maintain; no commuting costs; no need to buy costly work clothes; your paid time off is based on hours worked rather than days per year; and there is an opportunity for greater autonomy over your projects.

Freelancing has both pros and cons. Some of the advantages include variety in work, not having to commute to a certain office, and making more money per hour than if working for someone else. However, there are some challenges such as instability and unemployment woes and often face more stress on top of the typical stresses we've all got going on in life. All things considered, it's more of a trade off between stability and risk of freelancing In order to stay alive in this environment with less risks you have larger safety nets outside your freelance career that must be maintained which result in higher tariffs being paid with no returns when it comes down to it choose wisely!

You have to consider a lot of factors. What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a freelancer? -Advantages- The major advantage is that you get to choose your own projects, so if there's something challenging or interesting out there, you can take it on. It's also pretty cool having whatever time off you need, or going straight from one project to another without wasting any time in between. You're also able to set your own rates and level of work - which is great if you're looking for a particular clientele who will appreciate your niche services! And finally, many find the sense of freedom refreshing instead of restrictive because they don't have anyone telling them what to do all day long.
