We both left corporate jobs to work as freelancers, chasing balance between the work we loved and the life we wanted. We quickly realized that contract work wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. We were working longer hours with fewer benefits and using our own workspace and supplies.
Since then, we have been on a mission to work on our own terms. We’ve learned how to negotiate with our employers for what we really want, need, and deserve — from pay to benefits to setting our own schedule. We’ve taught ourselves how to work smarter, not harder. We’ve committed to separating work and home so that we can enjoy both.
