Hello everyone!
I've been thinking about two perspectives:
An employee works for their one and only client, their employer.
A freelancer/entrepreneur works for multiple clients.
Now, for those who evaluate the "stability" and "security" of a job, how can one think that being an employee is more secure than being a freelancer?
If an employee loses their job due to the client, they face significant changes: they might have to relocate to another city to find new employment, along with all the consequences that entails, such as moving, saying goodbye to old friends and acquaintances, and the need to rebuild their social circles. Additionally, children may have to change schools. Only the luckiest can rely on the support of their partner, without worrying that they might leave or betray them, as often happens.
On the other hand, if a freelancer loses a client, they have only lost part of their income but can rely on other clients to sustain their business. Furthermore, there’s no need for relocations or upheavals (which is very important).
Considering these aspects, what real advantage does being an employee offer compared to being a freelancer?
