I'm wondering this myself. I'm trying to steer away from web, I can't stand it anymore, but I digress. I hoping to build a portfolio of C/C++ games and UIs and get anything in the game industry or alternatively in some embedded system UI space. From there hopefully I never have to touch web apps again. Didn't think about freelancing but seems it would be hard given that C/C++ is used in domains where the code is sensitive and cannot just be given to anyone that is not trusted, but if anyone has more ideas on how to pivot towards C/C++, I think these jobs will still remain after AI takes the low hanging fruit that is web apps.

For ideas on how to pivot, see my reply above in relation to what has worked for me. As for the embedded space, I have been increasingly including REST, WebSocket, SSE services for front-end engineers to hook in GUI / WebApp features. Futzing with tiny LCDs and limited buttons, etc is basically a waste of effort. A solid API for WebApps to connect to provides for far better user experience.
