Business outlook
Pros
Total control over projects, clients, and schedule Work-life balance is exactly what you make of it Ability to pursue passion projects alongside paid work No office politics—unless you argue with yourself Casual Fridays are every day
Cons
No paid leave (unless you count naps) The boss can be a bit of a perfectionist Career development workshops are mostly just TED Talks and YouTube Benefits package is self-funded and expensive Sometimes hard to switch off—work follows you everywhere
