Thanks for the insight, I get it, that might be a norm for the contractor business now, need to onsite and meet with the team once a while. But I do see some job posts online nowadays that hiring contractors online or remotely, I guess the location of the job shouldn't be the differentiator of "freelancer" and "contractor" by definition, agree?

I'd say it's more a norm in Germany, at least from my experience. But we're far behind other countries with respect to digitization. So yes, you're right. The location is not the differentiating factor.
