When I went freelance, it was hard not having a boss at first, now I’m totally into it. It took around a year for me to get everything to where I felt good about it. I think a lot of people don’t realize that the uncomfortable feeling of not having a boss usually doesn’t last forever. The people who liked working from home probably get it. We are taught to have bosses from a very early age.
I freelanced for about a decade, and frankly, I like having a steady gig now instead lol but I’m still really glad I did it that’s for sure. It had its advantages.
There’s security in a paycheck and there’s security in knowing you’re not the boss. I agree, being freelance or an employee both have advantages. I think it took me awhile to realize that there is some security in being freelance, I didn’t know that and had to relearn a lot of things.
Also was a freelancer. I felt like I had more bosses. Instead of one person to keep happy it was an entire client staff to keep happy. I gave it up for a lot of reasons and went back to corporate.

Not having a more senior person to go to when you get stuck could be a problem.
I always have Mr. Stackoverflow as my senior person.
That is, until he slaps me in the face and tells me my questions are always repeated.
