Noticed half my old drafting team went freelance this year.

Makes me wonder if staying in-house is still the best move. The flexibility seems tempting.

Wow, everyone talks about the freedom but forgets the brutal cost of health insurance! My freelancer friend pays over $700 a month for a bad plan. That's a huge hidden pay cut. OscarRoberts is right about losing the steady backup, but the safety net you lose is way bigger than just help on projects. A single medical issue without good company insurance can wipe out a year's freelance income. That constant money stress would kill the flexibility joy for me.

Freelance health insurance? More like a monthly dare to stay healthy. My budget can't handle a sneeze.

Think about the steady paycheck and team backup you lose going freelance.
