I started freelancing earlier this year over https://www.toptal.com/#connect-unmatched-coders-now My plan was to freelance some time as an additional work to my regular 9-17h job to test it out. Then I quit regular work and freelance full time (with better pay than a regular job, but now I feel secure that freelance will not leave me for prolonged periods without a job). This way I gained flexibility in time (I can work from wherever and whenever I want). And after some time I will probably go half-time freelance and do something else with my time (probably tackle some startup ideas I have for some time, but after I work on myself first).
