If you are a fresh management graduate, you are likely to get a job through campus placement. But what if the job offer is not to your liking? This is a possibility given the bleak industrial scenario due to the pandemic. Will you choose freelancing as a career? Will you, for example, bid for freelance jobs on Upwork, Freelancer.com or Fiverr and lead a professional life on your own terms?
There are many PGDM courses in Mumbai and the number of fresh management graduates can easily run into thousands. These postgraduates with professional degrees will enter job markets when the economy is in a tailspin due to Covid-19 all over the world. Remote and freelance jobs are the new trends.

You can Find Good and Interesting Jobs
Freelance jobs are usually assignment-based and shorter duration but the payout could be international standard. There are many advantages of working as a freelance professional. One of these advantages is you have your own rules and timings for work. Then, you may have good and interesting assignments. You choose the assignments you want to work on. You also choose the remuneration that you want for a particular job.

A few hours of daily interaction on freelance marketplaces can get something to work on. Besides, it brings so many different types of jobs to your notice that your outlook to job markets is completely transformed.
