I've done both and am currently freelancing. I prefer to freelance 'on-site', which means I charge a daily rate for my services and expect my accommodation to be covered whilst I'm working there. On taking my first gig like this, my income effectively tripled compared to my previous studio job - because the pay was much…

I feel like I have the right to be picky since I enjoy freelance and I work full time hours if I want them or when I need the money. Otherwise I try to keep my workload down so I can spend all day with my daughter - I only work at night when everyone is…
