The labor market is constantly evolving and with it new forms of hiring and employment are emerging. In recent years, independent work carried out by self-employed workers, or better known as freelance workers, has become very popular, especially for young people who seek work flexibility, good salaries and freedom to carry out any type of project.  

 
Freelance work consists of offering services or products to different clients, without intermediaries, or external demands. This means that each project is managed and developed in a dialogue between the worker and the client, which is very enriching for the process. For many professionals, this work dynamic is very tempting, but before turning to the freelance world it is necessary to take into account both its positive and negative sides.   

Having one's own control over our work and doing it in an entirely autonomous way sounds interesting: there is no boss to pressure us or unpleasant coworkers to confront, however, these benefits also represent a challenge. The freelance worker does not have a boss to turn to when things go wrong, or colleagues who can lend a hand to a complex project.  

Freelance work is ideal for those ambitious, organized and determined, but before embarking on this world of work it is important to take into account a series of points, to know if you are qualified for such dynamics, as well as the pros and cons of this ambit. 

Advantages of being freelance:

•   Be your own boss: You are the one who has control and proposes the rules and times of work. You no longer have to feel pressured by the demands of others: now you will be the one who manages the dynamics and marks the objectives.

                         But it also has certain disadvantages!

 

Disadvantages of being freelance:

•  Variable income: When working on independent projects, nobody can assure the freelance monthly fixed income. Unless you work with some clients per month, the lack of fixed income can cause great uncertainty.

•  Solitary work: Freelance work can be a little lonely and you may miss the support of the team, since you will not have colleagues to present their help on each project, nor with whom to talk, or share impressions.

•  Lower labor benefits: You will no longer have paid vacations, coverage of medical expenses, or extra benefits that come from the company. Now you are on your own, so you should consider these benefits as extra expenses.
