Career
Go fully freelance after years in a full-time role
Mid-term — 6 months to 2 years
Context
I've been side-freelancing for 18 months and it's generating real income. My full-time job feels like dead weight — but it pays reliably and has benefits. Going all-in on freelance means building from a base of clients I don't fully control yet.
Goal
Determine if my freelance base is stable enough to replace my salary, or if I'm romanticizing independence before I've actually earned the runway.
