Missed out the most crucial one 'Payment' as a freelancer - late payments and constantly chasing up payments is something I'm always doing compared to when in a full time studio job

I do not really see the value of guidance here. These are stereotypes, even though they are likely to present typical cases. They neglect regional differences, different working styles, national marketing, different company sizes, different philosophies, and project-based work, to name just a few. Thus: nice as drawing, but probably meaningless if you face a major job decision.

Englishman, Scotsman and an Irishman walk into a bar... And the joke unfolds with the typical stereotypes that most people with a sense of humour find funny. The difference, you don't ask, "which bar?", "where?" or "what were they drinking"
