It's not very easy to find work when you are trying to become a full-time freelancer, and there is a lot of competition in the freelance market these days, you will literally be competing with a lot of people when you are trying to get some work because the clients will always look for the best to go with and you will have to be that to win.
For me freelance, although it is amicable work, is not a stable job. I would recommend it for extra income but I wouldn’t recommend it to be your sole source of income. Only because I believe in the power of a long-term contract. I need assurance that a particular job will be mine in a specific period of time so at least I know that I will be getting a stable flow of salary until then.
