When you're thinking about getting a 'proper' job

About this episode

The episode discusses the considerations for freelancers contemplating a return to traditional employment.

“I love the freedom, flexibility, variety and potential of freelancing, but the places I used to get work don’t need me anymore, and I’m struggling to find a new service/niche that works. So I’m wondering whether a job might be a better option for a while. How do you know when it’s time to stop freelancing and look for a job? What would you take into consideration?”
