Recently, I received an offer for a full-time, fully remote job. The offer included an impressive benefits package (health, dental, vision, generous PTO, the whole nine), and I have to admit that I was enticed. After nearly six years of freelancing, uncertainty is part of my workflow. Projects come and go, and there are months when I ask myself if it's all worth it. Getting an offer for a full-time job stopped me in my tracks and made me reevaluate everything.

Spoiler: I didn't accept it. Something about the 3,000-word daily expectation felt intimidating, and not in a go-getter way.

But then something amazing happened. Hours before the full-time offer letter was set to expire, I got an email from a potential client letting me know they'd love to work with me. The gap I had in my client roster was suddenly filled, and everything just fell into place.

If you've been questioning whether it would be better to go back to full-time work, I get it. Trading freedom for stability sounds like a good move, especially if you've had more dry months than you're comfortable with.

Call it what you will, but this time things fell into place exactly how they were meant to. For now, I'm still freelancing and enjoying the freedom! ;)
