I tried freelancing fultime for a year before deciding to getting a 9-to-5 job after college. What you have pointed out here is true. Freelancing comes with it's perks. You can work anytime as long as you meet client deadlines. Some payments are lucrative, but it's not always the case, no job security (unless you establish your own agency). You may have clients this month and may not have in the next. The 9-to-5 gives security and benefits, but sometimes taxing and toxic, or perhaps blant. However, it's what work for us matter.
will I do full time freelancing again?
If I did have any funds/generational wealth to cover daily necessities, I would definately continue. Although my job right now is a mix of both worlds, I need to report to the job, but I also have a bit of freedom of how I do my work. Well, i still do freelance (consulation gigs) from time to time.
If you are still connected with your company try to weigh things.
They should weigh things before doing so. Earlier this year, I did quite a decade-old job that I had. Well, the idea of quiting seems not out-of-the-blue. I had been thinking out for more than a year already. I even considering of doing freelancing fulltime again, but I didn't resign abruptly. I waited for awhile and with the right opportunities at hand, i quite.
As for me, freelancing will stay as a pipe dream. I still need to polish my content creator skills so that I can bargain with a better rate.
It may not be a pipe dream at all. You can still try and do freelancing on a partime-basis. There's no harm in trying though. Above all, try to find a freelancing that works with your time, goals and skillsets.
