I've done both freelance and full-time work over the past decade, and each has its advantages. Freelance allows you to work with diverse clients and set your own rates, but you need to be disciplined about finding consistent work and managing finances. Full-time gives you steady income and often better software licenses, but less flexibility. Currently, I'm seeing a lot of opportunities for both arrangements.
