LOVe
FOR THe
of
FREELANCE
Getting into a contract-based work
environment is often more challenging
than you’d expect. You have to survive
dry spells or overwhelming obligations,
no proper internet connectivity and
fluctuating salaries, to name a few
drawbacks. But reign in that negativity!
Now’s the time to saddle up and own
your new freedom. Ready for the ride?by sakina esufallyI T ’ S E v E RY

To quit the daily 9-5 and set
up shop on her own. You get to
say tata to crappy cups of milk
tea and over-the-top office
drama that makes One Tree
Hill feel blasé (no easy feat),
and hello to great coffee, cute
workspaces and manicures.
So you finally pluck up the
courage and hand in your
resignation, ready to live
the dream. Except, being
‘freelance’ doesn’t quite feel
like you thought it would.
What’s going on?career
