So you are currently employed full time? One of the biggest advantages of freelancing would seem to be the flexibility of working hours and the amount of work you take. (Of course, as a freelancer you are running a small business, which may or may not be something you enjoy).

This was years ago. > One of the biggest advantages of freelancing would seem to be the flexibility of working hours and the amount of work you take. Agreed. You have to find the right shop. Basically you are looking for a smallish consultancy (probably 10 - 40 people) that has a steady stream of clients but variable workload and needs people that can come on and off projects on demand. San Francisco had a lot of these types of places in the 2000's. Probably rarer in other places, but I imagine a decade later with the improvement in remote work technologies there might be a lot of these globally now.
