Ask HN: How do I get into consulting / freelancing? 3 years ago
The description fits me perfectly except I am ahead of you. I quit almost a year ago and started consulting for a former employer just now.
I don’t have much advice to give though. It’s hard to get started and even when you do find a client it can take months before the paper work has been sorted if the client is a large (and slow) corporation.
Now I am making money again though after living on savings for almost a year, and I have a much better (more flexible) deal than when I was an employee there.
