I'd suggest that you should consider a transition from FTE to freelancing over some (fixed?) amount of time vs. a quick change.
Depending on who your prospective buyer is, I would also reconsider using the "freelancer" title. I equate freelancer with the quick, sub-$1000 jobs that are advertised on various "gig" sites. That's not really a pool you want to swim in as it artificially constrains your rate ceiling.

- ehnto 6y agoAs unfortunate as it is my experience resonates with that advice. Move to the mindset and business practices of a consultant and you won't need sites like UpWork. It is a good source for temp work but it is a totally different market to consultancy. At least that was my experience.
