On: Ask HN: Looking to branch out into remote work, how to start

[k__]

I started with searching for startups and joined one as remote developer.

Their VC forced everyone to work on-site later, so I left.

Switched to freelancing later, because I didn't want to meddle with all this company politics anymore and live by my own rules.

Working for remote 4 years now, 2 years as an employee and 2 years as consultant. Wouldn't go back anymore.

If you don't mind sharing a little bit, how did you make the switch to freelancing?

I looked online for companies that needed a freelancer, wrote a few of them emails and started working for them.
