For me freelance, although it is amicable work, is not a stable job. I would recommend it for extra income but I wouldn’t recommend it to be your sole source of income. Only because I believe in the power of a long-term contract. I need assurance that a particular job will be mine in a specific period of time so at least I know that I will be getting a stable flow of salary until then.
You are right, as freelance workers, of course this is very unfriendly for them and of course they have to be able to save the income they have and also have to be able to manage the income they have well so that they don't experience difficulties when they don't have income.
By having several sources of income, of course this is very good, of course this will really help us survive in an uncertain economy. By having a long-term contract job, of course this will really help us and during that time we will be able to prepare if we don't continue with the contract.
