Freelancing Provides Far More Job Security Than a 9 to 5 — Here’s Why
I’m not here to lie to you about how freelancing is some kind of utopia; but in the modern world — it provides far more job security than a 9 to 5.
The other day, a recruiter reached out via LinkedIn. She said I looked like a good fit for a job she was recruiting for. The job? A senior copywriter for a successful London agency.
The job was full-time and technically remote. I would have to make the trek from the desolate north of England to the bustling centre of London once a month for a team meeting.
The pay was okay, too. I mean, it was less than I make right now but it came with benefits, the opportunity for mentorship and… job security?
I stopped short at that last statement.
Job security.
Jobs for life don’t exist
I understand there was a time before I started working when jobs were forever. I can’t recall such a time, nor do I understand the type of security and stability that would come with it.
My own parents, older Gen X-ers, moved jobs often for better pay or due to redundancy.
