Becoming a freelancer means that you can register with the Inland Revenue as being self employed and can be hired by other people or organisations to work on projects for a set period of time in an agreed commercial framework.

As one would expect, there are a number of highs and lows to being a freelancer. The positive aspects include flexibility over working hours, greater variety of work, increased job satisfaction and work challenges, autonomy and independence, improved work/life balance and increased earning capacity.
