At first glance, freelancing can seem a bit intimidating. The fear of the unknown can make it challenging to get started on that journey.
Invoicing, getting customers, networking and more – it can all seem like too much to handle on top of other work commitments. However, there are benefits to freelancing as well! Getting to be your own boss can unlock the feeling of freedom that employment couldn’t offer, and it opens up the possibility of higher earning potential compared to a regular job. As a freelancer you also have the opportunity to invest your company's funds. And what if you had help to tackle the more daunting aspects of freelancing and could kickstart your journey with confidence?
At Marvel Consulting, freedom is our core value. We respect our own and others’ freedom and their individuality. Because of this, we want to offer our IT consultants the chance to mold their working life to suit their individual goals and aspirations. We want you to have a professional life that suits you; whether it is the simplicity and security of employment, or the freedom and flexibility of freelancing.
According to a study done by Barona (Nuorisopulssi 4/2023), 78 % of young adults think that employers should offer other ways of working on top of as a regular employee, such as working as a freelancer. We believe that this reflects the need for freedom in your working life, and we want to make sure our consultants always have the ability to choose.

Sami’s story: from employment to freelancing at Marvel Consulting
“I ended up working for Marvel Consulting, because I wanted to try another job than my then current job. After being employed by Marvel Consulting, I decided to switch to freelancing, because of better earning opportunities. For Marvel this change was okay, and I also got good tips from the founders Tommi and Ossi to for example what software to use. I have enjoyed being a freelancer and I would recommend it to others! Coders are well suited to freelancing, because working as a freelancer involves a lot of information acquisition, which is also a large part of a software developer's job.”
