If you left your freelance job to work for someone

I’ve been working from home for the last 11 years (since I’m married)
I’m moving now and don’t want to make a room for an office for myself cuz I really want to use the extra rooms as bedrooms.
Also I would enjoy the social and the steady income.
If you did this - how did it go?
Any regrets? Any advice?
How much should I ask for salary wise?

A lot of people rent office space outside of the house. There's no reason to get a w2 job just for that.

I worked for myself for about 2 years (previously worked for other people) when an amazing opportunity came up. The pros are: I have a social life and a consistent pay check
Cons: working for someone else, answer up to, follow their protocol.

I still do some freelance work and ask myself from time to time why I don't go back to working for myself..... The pro's are what stop me from leaving.

Just my personal experience. Hope ots helpful.
