Hello and welcome to the a new episode of Code && Beyond. A podcast where we talk about software development and anything beyond that.
For the last eight something years, I work as a full-time employee. But before that, it was many years of self-employment and freelancing. A wide range of experiences from amazing to not so much. But one this is true: I learned a lot.
The topic of today is freelancing.
My name is Alex and as usual I'm joined by my good friend Pablo. Hi Pablo! :smile:
Highlights of the week
Alex: Hack && Tell.
I had a chance to organize a Hack && Tell event and that was amazing experience! It was so inspiring that I would like to propose an episode on the topic of being a hacker. BTW, by the hacker I don't mean someone who breaks into computer systems, but someone who likes exploring and learning, who likes trying things out to understand how they work.
Pablo: TODO
Q/A
Cons and pros (for freelancer and employer)
Is that really freedom and independence?

Working as a freelancer, consultant, full-time employee
Show notes
As software engineers, we aren't limited to just one type of employment. Some prefer to have more flexibility and jump from one project to another focusing on short-term tasks, others value stability and like staying with the company for a long time. We could work as freelancers, consultants, and, of course, full-time employees.
What's interesting, though, is that all these different types of employment have a couple myths around them.
In this episode of Code && Beyond, Pablo and Alex discuss some of the myths and are trying to prove or bust them using their personal experience.
Have any feedback? Send us an email at <codeandbeyond@protonmail.com>.
