Ask HN: Going semi-freelance, quitting the 8-5?
hey all you HN'ers, I've been mulling over this decision this weekend and thought I'd get some input from people who are actually doing it.
I got an offer from someone I do a lot of freelance work for on the side for a full time job as a technical lead/lead programmer type position. Offers me the ability to telecommute, flex hours and paid healthcare, on top of that it matches my current salary pre-healthcare.
So in your experience fellas, what are some serious pros/cons to this? I grew up in family businesses and am no stranger to keeping myself disciplined and motivated, so hopefully that won't be much of an issue.
Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: Forgot to make it clear, it's still a freelance position, but the contract will have guaranteed hours/pay/schedule to cover us both.
