There are plenty of gigs out there but finding them when you're first starting out is difficult. I've freelanced about half of my career and ~80% of my gigs have come through my network. Sometimes I'm referred by friends and acquaintances and sometimes by people I've done work for in the past. I've grabbed a few off of the monthly HN "who's hiring" thread, there are often a ton of freelance gigs in there. I work primarily in startups, though, so YMMV at larger organizations. If you have questions, feel free to E-Mail me.
