Nowadays many people choose to be self-employed, rather than to work for a company or organisation. Why might this be the case? What could be the disadvantages of being self-employed?

Nowadays, in the modern world where transnational corporations and government organisations dominated the labour market, more and more people are interested in being self-employed.

This

trend has its reasons, but there are

also

quite obvious drawbacks. In the

last

two decades corporations have been growing all the

time

and today most of them have a tremendous number of rules and different regulations, so people who

work

there feel their role in position in these companies smaller and smaller. Some of them lost a sense of their value within a company.

Therefore

, they start to make a decision in the favour of being self-employed, in order to get

this

feeling of freedom of choosing what to do and how to do it.

Moreover

, in today's world much easier to get freelance contracts,

due to

the internet and different platforms for self-employed.

On the other hand

, I think,

this

ability to

work

for yourself has a lot of disadvantages, which might be hidden for the first

time

for those who consider choosing

this

way. First of all, being self-employed is obliged to spend a lot of

time

searching for new contracts and jobs to be done, thinking about effectiveness, tax returns, and accounting. Which, in turn, left them less

time

for doing their beloved

work

. Another drawback of

such

activity is a lack of ability to rely on counterparts or bosses on some issues or even to get a piece of advice from them. All the decisions which should be made they should make in most cases by themselves.

To conclude

, the feeling of freedom to make decisions about what and how to do, and feeling the results and value of somebodies

work

, forces some employees to resign and become self-employed.

Although

it might be seen as a good decision,

this

trend has disadvantages,

such

as the need to spend

time

searching for a job to be done, and the lack of ability to rely on counterparts in some issues.
