    When you join a company, go full time, there's a sense of security, regular paychecks etc, you relax, enjoy life... full time people consider freelancing to be risky, unstable...

    but as is so often the case, full-time can be pretty unstable. I've seen companies unable to pay staff their salary for a few months, due to bad financial management and late paying clients. I've seen people quit big corps, to join cool independent studios, only to see the owners sell their studio to the big corp that the staff had just quit. Companies fold, merger, move offices out of town etc etc Just when you get comfortable in life, the rug is pulled from under you.

    Nothing is stable. Being freelance at least puts you in the hustle / adapt / survive mindset. But still sucks.
