As a software engineer at Team Rockstars, you will have gained experience at various companies and projects. If you want to develop yourself further and have more freedom, starting your own business or working as a self-employed person may be a good option.

Starting your own business or self-employment gives you the opportunity to decide which projects to take on and which direction to take your career. You also have more flexibility in your working hours and location.

Of course, there are challenges when starting your own business or working as a self-employed person. You have to look for clients and assignments on your own, and building a network is essential. You must also keep your own records and accounts and ensure a steady income.
Our Rockademy has several training courses that fit this ambition and associated challenges.
