Freelance Full-Time
Pros: Total flexibility, higher earning potential, full control of your business.
Cons: Income can be unstable, you manage everything, potential for feeling isolated.
Part-Time Job + Freelancing
Pros: Financial security, benefits, less risky transition.
Cons: Less time for freelance growth, potential for burnout, limited flexibility.
Things to Consider:
Savings: Do you have a financial cushion?
Risk Tolerance: How do you feel about inconsistent income?
Self-Discipline: Are you a good self-manager?
Tip: A hybrid approach (starting freelance part-time) might be the best way to test the waters!
