yeah, you're missing out on

incapable team leads,

greedy managers,

meetings,

dirty kitchen (unsure, I don't know yours),

coworkers you never chose to work with,

and what else is "company culture"

but wait

until the tax declaration,

until the customers complain,

until the customers don't pay their bills,

then you will really miss being an employee.

Are the youtube videos helping with your freelancing? I am always curious how that fits into the equation. A good content provider seems to do well. Trying to determine if I should work on dev blogs about my game dev stuff.

@Demolishun game dev blogs do pretty good on YouTube. you do have to be consistent about it though. I watch those things.

Sid does something else. his videos have like 30 views each, he just uses them for networking within India (or rather, those looking to hire cheap Indian outsourcing from richer countries) for Shopify contract work

@Demolishun Yes it does help, in fact it's my only way to get clients. I post tutorials on Shopify and hope that someone sees it and hires me for their work.

I also get clients from Discord.

You're definitely missing out on colleagues bro. Nice colleagues, shitty colleagues, it's nice to have them sometimes. It's not all about the money or salary. Humans are social creatures.

You could definitely work for a company and also freelance at the same time by decreasing your clients.
