Untana in-ani pud ko ka isog😭😁
A lot of people have resonated with wife’s story of resigning from COA and choosing remote work.
And while we are deeply grateful for where we are now, here’s a reality check: Remote work and freelancing are not for everybody.
The truth is, there are challenges you don’t always see from the outside:
❌ Rejections from clients
❌ Sudden layoffs or contract terminations
❌ The constant pressure of proving your value
❌ Even client ghosting
But if you’re curious about the pay, yes it’s rewarding. Depending on your skills and clients, you can earn 3–5x more compared to a government salary.
And here’s another bonus: remote work frees you from the toxic environment that sometimes comes with traditional offices. No more office politics. No more forcing yourself to vibe with people you don’t really align with. You can focus on the work and the value you bring.
Unlike in government, where stability is built into the system, in freelancing stability is something you create for yourself through resilience, continuous learning, and wise financial management.
At the end of the day, I’ve learned that stability means having the strength to bounce back from any challenge. But more importantly, true stability is being in the will of the Lord.
As the Bible says in Proverbs 16:3:
“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”
Remote work isn’t the easier path. It’s just a different one. And for us, it’s a path filled with both struggles and opportunities worth taking.
