3 reasons to go freelance in 2023

Bored of your 9 to 5? Yearning for change in 2023? Not fond of rigid routines? Freelance could be the best career path for you. Carry on reading to find out more about why you should consider taking up contractor roles in 2023…

1.Flexibility

In a lot of contractor roles, you set the rules (within reason). Not only will you have more autonomy over your workload than in a permanent position, but also more flexibility in terms of how your schedule looks. This means improved work-life balance, and more opportunities for long getaways between assignments! 

2.Variety

If variety is the spice of life, then you could say permanent work is pretty lemon and herb. Why not challenge yourself to try something new and venture into the world of contracting? You’ll have the opportunity to hop from sector to sector, expand your knowledge and gain new skills on the job. This can be really energising, especially for those who love a bit of socialising and meeting new people.  So if you’re easily bored by routine, contracting might just be what you’ve been looking for.

3. High demand

We are already seeing a spike in demand for part time workers, especially in businesses looking to implement change at pace. Not only does hiring a contractor save a company time, but also means they don’t have to commit to a long term salary. Furthermore, because contractor roles are usually results-driven, they are great for those who enjoy seeing the fruits of their labour develop and help others. In fewer archaic words, it’s very rewarding.
