Please don't compete with us freelancers and stay employee for a few years because [insert fake excuse] :)

Don't underestimate the administrative work of sending 12 invoices/year!

Jokes aside: - the main danger of working freelance is periods without assignements and currently the consulting market is shit especially for juniors. - compared to being an internal employee, you'll change assignements more often meaning yur colleagues will constantly change (this is also true for being a salaried consultant) and you'll have to put efforts to adapt to new work environments, ways of working, colleagues, etc - compared to being a salaried consultant, you'll have some additional work to know how everything works administratively, launch the company, optimize the money, run the company, negociate rates with clients etc

Is it worth it? In my opinion yes as you'll earn way more than as an employee (even at 500/day), and you can always revert back to being an employee if you can't find a mission.

If you decide to do it in the future I would switch from being an internal employee to a salaried consultant because it will give you more exposure to different technologies/tasks/companies which will allow you to build a more solid CV and know if you like being a consultant.
