Rachel Dunlop doesn’t think she’ll ever go back to the 9-to-5 office grind after making a career switch to freelance during the pandemic.

“There’s way too many benefits to this way of life,” she told Insider.

Dunlop, 39, lives in Toronto and works as a freelance copywriter. She’s been a freelancer on Fiverr for a few years now, after she started getting hints that return-to-office could be coming soon at her previous full-time job. She worked for a communications department at a social and athletics club with an hour to an hour-and-a-half commute by public transportation.

“I never want to get on a rush hour subway car ever again,” Dunlop said. “I never want to put on a business casual suit ever again. I never want to line up to use the microwave at lunch in a shared lunchroom ever again.”
