Ask HN: Independent contractors, what tips do you have for starting?
I have recently been entertaining the idea of doing independent contracting, and working on more of a per project basis.
I am curious how you began this journey - Where do you find your clients - How do clients find you?
I am curious about the jobs themselves - What is your skill set - What sorts of projects do you typically pick up - What is the average duration of the projects
And finally what tips do you have for someone who is just starting out doing this?
I have 8 years experience and have most of my experience as a full stack web dev within the JavaScript ecosystem.
Thank you so much!
