As dynamic as the tech sectors sound, it is difficult to avoid tech burnout.

The most interesting concept is that there is not only a rise in the freelancing work models but also the demand. 

The flexible work structure not only allows the freelancer the explore other prospects.

It is suitable for many smaller, supportive brands that have limited resources. It allows them to hire more freelancers for gig projects and enables a mutualistic work synergy.
