I freelanced for several years then went back to a "regular" job for 3 years and couldn't take it so I am back freelancing for almost 2 years now. It's the best thing ever.
I got very lucky and found a great opportunity that lets me have the benefits of a full-time job and the freedom of freelancing. Basically, 40+ hours a week, steady work, 1099 setup, no benefits and the best part is that it is 100% remote. I don't have to worry about finding work since I always have work. The drawback is obviously I don't have any benefits so you have to pay for all that out of pocket - but if you do the math, it ends up being the same thing with the freedom of being 100% remote.
A few months ago, I decided to use my contacts to setup a consultancy and have 5 people billing now - if you are a developer and want 100% remote and steady work, you can reach me at eibrahim at gmail or you can fill out the online application at https://devcamp.wufoo.com/forms/fullstack-developer-netnode/ - there is no gurantee I can place you right away but I have a ton of work coming my way all the time. It's mostly full-stack dev work but lately I have been getting more and more mobile opportunities.
ps: right now this is for developers in the USA and Canada only but occasionally I get clients/opportunities that don't care about the geography.
