      It is a great barrier to protect the value of being exactly what you called a PROPER freelancer. Otherwise there would be only amateurs or self-claimed pro's with 3 months of XP. Very fair for those proper freelancers who did their 3 years and eat the fresher fruits higher up in the tree.

      Its for the best. Theoretically understanding, and thinking you can do something, is much different than actually developing the skill and experience. Trust me you’ll be forgiven for your mistakes as an employee, in a way that you’re not as a freelancer.

    This week as a finance data analyst has been brutal for me and now the algorithm brings me to your video. I totally get what you're saying as I felt the same toxicity - hijacked meetings, zero commitment from people I am working with especially when it cames to data (technicality stuff), and the whole "perfect for the boss" act.
    I wish I could have some freelance freedom, but in my case I need work visa sponsorship to stay and work in this country... feels like I'm chained to the desk.

    I can't agree more about corporate culture. People are so fake there, and you kind of forced me to be that fake, too, which made me hate myself so much. It was not what I thought I would be when I grew up. LOL. I choose to just stop caring and get paid, then go home. But knowing you chose a different path makes me realize there is another way to go. Looking forward to your next video!

    Data analyst its just a manager with more instruments to make decisions, i start enjoying it when my ideas make real impact on company and change workflow. Big international corporations maybe soulless, but you always get onboarding and someone more experienced who you can ask. My first work was debts collector agency where data pipeline its excel file on email, now its national post logistic and i literally fighting for answers and documentation.

  • @withpikachu2402
    @withpikachu2402 Місяць тому +2

    I was working as a manager. Soon I realized that email or call doesn't work if you want people to do things. Its always meetings, because it just worked. How do you do accounting if going freelance? Accounting would be nightmare for me. If you work in company they do accounting for you. Imagine how much time is saved. You just collect money every month. Accountant gets his/her A on fire if mistakes are made.

    This is probably because those high-level managers are different from us youngsters. They work their asses of like they're going to inherit the company. They probably won't, but hey, at least they'll get a lot of money out of reaching those targets and quotas.
    I think our generation wants to be compensated *fairly* while having proper boundaries with our life and work. Bosses in my company keep on replying past work times, even on weekends. I just completely ignore them. I still have lots of things I want to do lol.
