Eps 9: Corporate vs Freelance – Talking HTML

Welcome to Talking HTML, an audio/video internet thing for web developers who are just starting out
 
Today is the cost-benefit analysis of working in a corporate setting versus working for yourself
 
 
 
Corporate
Positives

* Constant income
* Relatively Consistent work schedule
* Work stays at work
* No working cost

* Computer
* Monitors
* Random supplies



Negatives

* Work for someone else

* Answer to a boss


* Work looks the same ~ no change in scenery
* No matter how much or how hard you work you are stuck at a salary or hourly wage

Self employed /start up
Positives

* Create your own hours
* Ability to work on the projects you want to work on
* You can charge what you want

Negatives

* No set schedule, work follows you

* If you don’t work you don’t get paid ~ can make for long work days


* Equipment costs money!

* Computer, software, extra monitors, peripherals


* You are responsible for finding your own work
