Some reasons I don't like being an employee:
- Schedule constrains
- Politics and certain dynamics within/between teams. I'm getting tired of those.
- Money. I'm close to the ceiling (for my location and role) unless I pivot into management
- I'm a bit disconnected about what delivers real value within the company, I feel I'm just a small piece of a big machinery. It's a bit abstract the work I do
- I can influence but I don't own my career path
What I believe a freelance route could give me:
- I can pivot until finding what I enjoy doing
- More flexible schedule
- Feeling that I'm providing tangible value
- Money ceiling
- My efforts would give me a sense of investing in "my own business"
- Freedom. Choose who to work with or not (ideal scenario of course)
- Learning new tech
