I have been doing this since 2013. Here’s my journey: Full time job at startup doing web/mobile dev and infrastructure. I’m the fixer on the whole stack. Lots of personal side projects after hours. 2013: started moonlighting after full time job. An angular web dev project. 2014: started sole proprietor to have the after hours work on the books. Another Webdev project and a few websites. New client for which I am developing a platform that they can resell over and over. 2015: quit my job. Full time on my own. 3days/week at client office doing web/infra/uit. Other client projects on the side. Incorporated instead of sole proprietor for tax reasons. 2016: signed FTE contract as freelancer for more than a year doing web/mobile/backend/infra at startup. Other small client projects on the side. 2017: same 2018: same 2019: scale down long term client. Add other clients on the side. 2020: took on more than I could handle and I burned out. In two steps in June and September. 2021: spent 6 months at home not working. Living on my company savings. Now I just started working again 3 days a week to make sure I have an income. 1 client in an R&D role. Some creative personal play project on the side.
