Drawbacks of Being a Freelancer

  1. You may feel isolated since most of the time you will be working alone.
  2. You are always on a lookout for new jobs.
  3. Because you are usually working part-time, your work and income are inconsistent. There is no security of tenure.
  4. You’ll find yourself juggling between multiple clients.
  5. Since you are working with multiple clients, you’ll also have multiple bosses to answer to.
  6. Usually, you won’t have any leaves available nor insurance.
  7. You don’t have anyone to back you up when you get sick or injured.
  8. More often than not, you’ll be running every aspect of the business.
  9. Because you are not really a full-time employee of the organization, you may feel scattered/unfocused.
  10. Despite your big income, your work can not be admitted as a requirement for getting a loan. This is because your nature of work is inconsistent.
