If you have been freelancing for a few years, does it make you less likely to be hired by an employer? What if you freelanced for 3 years, then worked for 2 years, then went back to freelancing for 2 years and now want to get back to a fulltime job?
Will not an employer avoid someone with a freelance background because they know he could potentially leave if he gets enticed by a good contract? As opposed to someone who has always worked as an employee, their track record shows they are more comfortable with a 9-5 and are therefore more 'stable'?
