Ask HN: How do I get into consulting / freelancing?
I quit my software engineering job about 4 months ago, went to travel, and building my side project into a business.
However, things don't work as fast as I expected. My least preferred option is going back to being an employee, therefor I'm considering switching to freelance or consulting. I believe that I have a very vast experience, and can be of good use.
I, however, have no idea how to get into becoming a freelancer/consultant. I don't want to complete with people on Upwork, and similar, and I tried to reach out to my old connections.
Are there any other tips, or recommendations that you can share? Thanks in advance!
