Can I ask, how do you find work as a Freelancer? Generally I find a majority of companies are looking for FTE workers and often its hard to negotiate to work as a contractor/freelancer on a role that's advertised on a job board.
- blenderdt 5y agoWhat works for me best is to tell people what I do. This includes family and friends. Most of the time someone knows someone who needs a custom webapp. Sometimes you can also join a business club in your community. This sometimes costs money but this can be a good investment. And the most important: deliver good work. That will spread the word.
- datavirtue 5y agoMajority of companies are looking for contractors. Which is pretty much the same as a freelancer. FTEs are still a thing in a lot of companies because the company enjoys maximum control over them, fluffing it up with a bunch of fake benefits that contractors supposedly don't get. It's psychological manipulation to make the lowest paid micromanaged people think they are getting the good deal.
