(Edited)

We have to work to live and fulfil our basic demands. Working is very important for us and it provides us money which is a requirement for all of us and it's very important also. I think only foolish people can say that they can live without money. So if we need money we have to work for it. There is various kind of work to earn money but today I am going to compare between Full-time employee and freelancer because of the topic of the Hive Learners contest.

Before sharing my opinion I wanna share some knowledge about freelancers and full-time employee & advantages and disadvantages of both of them. So let's start...

Who is a full-time employee ?

A full-time employee means that person who work minimum 40 hours weekly in offices or factories or other workplaces. The minimum work time can be different in various countries. In a word most of the time, we see those people who are going to the office or in their workplace are mostly full time employee.

Who is a freelancer ?

A freelancer is that person who doesn't work for any specific company or organisation. A freelancer is like a free bird and he can choose which one he wanted to do considering the money. So a freelancer doesn't need to go outside for searching for work and earn money because he can do it from his home if there exists internet connectivity.

Advantages to be a full time employee

  • He can meet new people and make some real friends in the workplace.
  • He can get help from others in the workplace if he need it.
  • He has to work for a limited time.
  • He became relax after return home from the office
  • He can get a holiday every week.

Advantages to be a freelancer

  • He have the freedom to choose what he wanted to do.
  • He can work from his home.
  • He has the freedom of time and because of it, he can do the work whenever he want.
  • There is no boss and because of it, there is no restriction of a boss.
  • Giving more time he can earn more money.

Disadvantages to be a full time employee

  • He has to present physically in workplace.
  • Most of the time he has to follow the orders of the boss.
  • In the case of working many restrictions came from various purposes.

Disadvantages to be a freelancer

  • Freelancer almost work all day long.
  • He doesn't get any time for relaxing because he has to think about something always.
  • Tension of working is a common thing for a freelancer.
  • There is no official holiday for a freelancer.
  • Sometimes a freelencer lost in his work that he almost forget everything of outside world.

Considering all the advantages and disadvantages i will choose to be a full time employee because It's hard for a freelencer to get time for relaxing and i wanna spend quality time with my family member without any tension.

I am not saying that all freelencers pass stressful day every time but it's the common thing in most of freelencer although i thing with a proper daily routine this problem can be solved .


if you think that i violated any rules of this platform or my word hurting you or i made any mistakes here , let me inform about it through comments or my other social network . I will try to correct it if i made any mistakes.

Hey partner, this is a really good explanation of a full time employee and a freelancer and I love the advantages and disadvantages you stated although I still won't choose full-time employment over freelancing 🥰🥰.

Opinion can be different based on person. I respect your opinion and many people choose to be a freelancer and it's quite normal.

Oh dear, that happens to everyone, I'm glad you've made the corrections 👍❤️.

I also agree with you in this case but if I need to choose only one then I will choose full time employee.

Thank you for patiently reading 🙂

It depends on your status, country and the on your industry or line of work. Me as a full time, mom, I switched from being an office worker to full-time homemaker when I gave birth. Freelance versus full-time employee salaries tend to differ all around the world, but things are changing fast as more and more professionals work remotely. I also like the flexible time working being at home with my family :)

Yes I also agree with your statement. And with time many people are getting interested in freelancing.

I think blogging is a part of freelancing. Does it mean we are also a freelancer 🧐🧐?

Agree with all your advantages or disadvantages, there's always pro's and cons of doing both job

And there's always two types of people who feel comfortable being employee or one being freelancer ~ it's all about adapting and getting used to with the environment.

Amazing writeup! Thanks for sharing.
Have fun!

We all have different kind of opinion and that is the reason of it.
I think work as full time employee and doing freelancing in free time is the best solution . What do you think?
