Ask HN: How do I get into consulting / freelancing?
5 by skwee357 | 2 comments on Hacker News.
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!
