Just start, it is not complicated business. Ask around for work, deliver results and repeat. If you are any good you should be fine. Start with doing side projects and then make jump if you like it. On the other side, there is no certainty

Well, they can take risks, but new projects have to make sense to their bottom line. If you are 10B company and you are looking on 5 - 10M opportunity than it doesn't take much sense for this company. There is great book on this topic
