2-3 full-time positions are normal.

The truth is that the most valuable specialists no longer seek full-time work. They are no longer interested in being “loyal” to one company for years, which can easily lay off 20-30% of employees tomorrow because it is “good for business.” Does it make sense to sacrifice your career and time today if loyalty no longer guarantees anything?

Top professionals now choose short-term but powerful projects instead of endlessly adapting to corporate rules. Let's be honest: when was the last time you saw a real talent looking for a full-time position for many years? Most likely, such a person has been working for themselves for a long time.

Today, HR isn't looking for talent - it's looking for those who are still in the market. If you open a vacancy for a designer or product manager, you will receive hundreds of resumes, but how many of them are worthy of your attention? One or two, and sometimes none at all. If there are several vacancies, it becomes obvious that the market is simply empty.

The best specialists don't need to adapt. They start working efficiently right away because they already know how to do it. They don't need your instructions, corporate breakfasts, or lectures on “emotional burnout.” They are successful because they focus on the result, not the process.

Yes, they come and go. Their involvement is temporary, but this is their advantage.

For business, this is an obvious advantage: speed, efficiency and no extra costs for maintaining the comfort of full-time employees. For specialists themselves, it means freedom and experience that cannot be gained in a traditional structure.

Flexible teams are becoming increasingly popular. Today, the winners are those who stop holding on to old ideas about stability.
