Every time when I face ugly office politics, every time when I squished into full-loaded train, every time when I am debugging my noob colleagues, “I need to quit!” I yelled in my heart. It is totally unacceptable for a talented like me to work like this. This idea comes into my mind for so many times, so I did some study about it and now I would like to share it to anyone that had the same feelings like me.
I was shocked to know that there are 80% of people who aged 18-25 want to become freelancer. For insurance and protection, you can only join medical, employment and retirement insurance if you are applying from regular method. Still you can get it fully covered by social security agency. In practice, if you are holding a local household registration, you can go to employment agencies or referral centres to finish the application. If you are not located at your hometown, for example, Beijing, you can find a social security agency, after paying several hundreds of service fee, you can have it all covered like regular workers.
Apart from insurance problem, there are also some factor to stop you from becoming a freelancer.
Freelancers thinks that the disadvantage of joining them include unstable income, narrow social circle, fluctuating workhours, pressures, unclear social security policy, lacking social reputation, low efficiency, unclear boundary between work and leisure etc.
OK, it is time to think positive, here is some advantages of being a freelancer, maybe it helps you to decide whether you should join us or not. Freelancers thinks that there are several advantages for joining them, including freedom in working location and working time, no need to handle your boss, higher income, money talks before any work, knowing clients’ needs, no complex office politics, utilizing talents, etc.
Actually, the IT service market is very mature outside China. Transaction on IT Platforms like Upwork is boosting in a soaring speed. Outside China, there are 34% of business leaders believe that in year 2020, half of the work in their company will be accomplish by remote-working freelancers.
Nowadays, the IT platform in China already have some excellent platform that have good cloud-working support like online development, task bidding, remote development and online payment, and 3rd party guaranteed payment. Let’s take Clouderwork as an example, it is the most professional and vertical digital development service platform. There are a lot of development projects hosted on this platform, the enterprise can select suitable developers (individual or company) as contracted outsourcer. Developers of different talents can find suitable development projects to bid.
I think cloud-working mode can solve many problems in everyday life. You are no longer required to busy around in the hazy city, thus you can optimise the human resources. You can select the project that you can best work with and utilizing your full potential. Such 3rd party platform do not have problem of unpaid works as freelancers are protected by enterprise validation and deposits.
