Being self employed is not for the faint-hearted. You get to work long hours, for irregular pay, for lots of different bosses (I mean customers), and as a bonus (if you succeed) you get to deal with difficult staff.
And those are the good bits...
On the other hand you are more in control. You decide what to work on, and when. You decide how many zoom meetings to have (well, sort of.) You won't be laid off (although you might not get paid.) There's no office politics, and no boss to get jn your way.
Sure it can end up being financially rewarding, but a good job, with good investing, likely comes out ahead.
