Most significant cons that not everyone will be able to take: there are no guarantees in the process (63%), independent search of clients (63%), limited career and professional growth (35%)”.
What is remarkable: more than half of the inhabitants of the offices (56%), becoming freelancers, had had a similar experience.
However, the change of the type of employment for most turned into a reduction of income. To increase their earnings are just 28% of the newly-minted freelancers. And successful men have become more likely than women (31% and 24%, respectively). Most favorable for freelancing region was the suburbs – 46% of cases money in your pocket has more. In the whole country 44% abandon stable work to separate earnings income fell by more than half.

It happens sometimes that we have to work 24/7 without weekends and holidays. In this mode of operation is not the last place takes planning regulations”.
