I am fed up with the constant bullshit that goes hand in hand with being an employee and am thinking about going freelance. I usually have a job or two on the side, so I am used to dealing with clients.
I am 30 now and have been developing professionally for nearly 10 years. I am experienced in PHP, Python, Javascript and a load of other things. I know I have the skills needed to make this happen.
The only thing that holds me back is the fear of being able to pull in a steady stream of clients.
Ideally I would like to pair up with someone who has a solid idea but needs a tech guy to make it a reality.
Does anyone here have advice? Should I maintain a full time job while building clients on the side, or quit and put myself into a sink or swim situation? Am I making a poor decision by going freelance?
