Ask HN: Life tips regarding future as programmer / reverse engineer / freelancer
Hi,
I recently graduated with a Master's degree in Computer Science and have been programming in my spare time for about 10 years. (I focus on C/C++, WINAPI, and Windows Driver Development).
I would like to work towards becoming financially independent in the long run. I would also love to be able to work from home.
One idea would be to work as a freelancer.
Am I on a wrong path or are there experienced programmers who would encourage me for this path?
Do you have any tips on how to start your career as a freelancer?
