I got some DMs asking about the cons of freelancing.

Freelancing is good if you are good at selling and like the opportunity of working with many clients.

However, it has some issues which are quite common in the industry.

  1. Lack of regular work and pay
  2. Non-challenging, basic work sometimes
  3. Clients not paying on time
  4. Constant mental overhead of looking for the next client
  5. Context switching if you take multiple part-time gigs simultaneously

I personally try to minimize freelancing and focus on long-term, full-time contracts for now.

But your mileage may vary. Do what works best for you.
