So I am currently juggling a 9-5 and a freelance gig and a couple of side-hustle type roles and I am about to ditch the 9-5 because it completely gets in the way of everything else. My work goes best when I have time flexibility - duh - and the 9-5 remote keeps me trapped at my machine. Gigs based on delivering a thing have always been best for me - if I'm selling my expertise, it's ALWAYS better than selling my time.
