Two vital questions arise, what are the present conditions of freelancing in Bangladeshi IT sectors and what are the challenges a freelancer is facing? To answer these questions, a survey has been conducted by the authors to recognize the present conditions and problems in the freelancing sector of Bangladesh.

From the survey results, the authors prepared a dataset. In this paper, an analysis from the dataset is shown to illustrate the current state of IT freelancing sector and the obstacles for freelancers to augment himself.
