I was let go during the pandemic and I 100% believe it was because I had kids and could not work around the clock. I’m enjoying freelance and was recently offered a full time remote position. I’m just wondering if anyone has been through this and has any thoughts about going back FT v freelance. I can’t be sure that my freelance work will hold and FT has its benefits. Would welcome any thoughts or kind words.

Do you have access to benefits through your partner? That would be a big deciding factor for me. What I might do is accept FT for security but not necessarily update on LI/resume until you’re a few months in and feel sure they’re not going to put you in a similar bad position. If they’re inflexible you’ve always got the option to class them as contract and go back to freelance work. But guaranteeing work/income through 2021 definitely has some appeal. I’m sorry it didn’t work at the last place, good luck with this.

No advice, but solidarity - my husband was just let go from his production studio. He is weighing the same thoughts around FT vs. Freelance for his next move. We have 2 kids under 5. I personally favor the stability of FT - but I think for his skill set (photography, marketing, account management, operations, producing, biz dev) he might find freelance more rewarding and varied. Does seem like you have to hustle, though! Good luck with your decision.
