I have been thinking about doing this for a while now but don't quite know how and where to start. Do you have some pointers?
I have seen this posted a bunch of time by various people but never really got up to asking them.
Things I am uncertain about:
* Organization/Admin set-up required to get going with me being the only person
* Finding programming projects, clients
* A good hourly rate to be charged
A little about me:
I have been working as a Software Engineer for a few years now with a very good understanding of python, java, C/C++, javascript (learning React these days), databases, bash scripts.
Have some experience with elasticsearch, big data (hadooop/hive), scala.
- drinchev 10y agoMy steps were : 1. Save enough money for 3 months before I quit 2. Start looking for freelancing projects locally by asking companies that are looking for employees in my area to hire me as a freelancer instead of an employee 3. When you have 3 "yes, we can work with you on a freelance basis", I quit the company and approach the three of them until my first working day in that company. I'm pretty sure these depend on your location ( I'm living in Berlin ), so you can ask around in some freelancing meet-up how can you start.
- palerdot 10y agoYou can start with any number of popular freelancing websites. There are specific sites for programming jobs and other sites where you could do all kinds of contracting work.
