Is freelancing as an analogue of remote work for a company possible?

Question

Freelance

Good day.

The question is far from new, but I still can’t find a suitable company (precisely for people. Where I don’t work for more than six months or a year I don’t stay).

Against this background, I am looking for some other sources of income, I am thinking about freelancing.
A couple of years ago, I thought about it during a break between job searches, but something didn’t work out there.

At the moment I am a Middle Python Backend Developer with a salary of 100k rubles.

What are the chances that within a short period of time (the same half a year, let's say) to reach the same, or higher, level of income (with the same qualifications as mine) freelancing?

Maybe one of the Khabrovtsev personally encountered such a situation, it would be interesting to listen to the stories of colleagues who have been in such a situation.

Answer 1

If you don’t have a well-developed profile on freelance exchanges, then most likely it will be difficult at first.
Regarding earnings: it all depends on how well you know how to solve problems that most often come across on the market, and how many orders you will get.
Go to freelancing and see the tasks that are put forward there, try to solve the most popular ones and see how well you do it.
If you fulfill orders very efficiently and quickly, then it is quite possible that you will be able to quickly get good reviews and there will be more confidence in you.
(trust => more clients => more orders => more money) The
important thing is how much the solution of the tasks that you solve is in demand.
Bottom line: If you work VERY hard and fulfill orders with exceptional quality, then such goals can be achieved.

Answer 2

It depends on how you are able to organize your work :) A freelancer is a big boss, accountant, project manager, senior, middle and junior all rolled into one :) And also an advertising specialist :)

Answer 3

it's easy if you work for upwork you will leave in the first half a year for 200k
