Thanks for such a detailed reply.

Your right, things would have been made much easier for me if I had found a good platform to stick to. Toptal looks really good! Also, I know a lot of people who recommend co-working spaces. I'm glad that worked for you.

I just think I prefer being part of a team for a company. I am moving to a different job at the end of next month working on a product that I use daily and love and the excitement I have to be allowed to work on such a product far exceeds any passion I had whilst freelancing.

I'm glad you've found what you were looking for. I can see comments from other people who followed the same path as you did and finally ended up as an employee in a good company.

It's interesting to see how we're all different. I worked for two companies before and then co-founded another one. But freelancing fits me best so far. I always enjoyed first few months in a company and then it started to be boring. I probably need a constant change and that's what freelancing gives me. However, I'd like to give entrepreneurship another try in the future as I see it as the most fascinating career path.

I always enjoyed first few months in a company and then it started to be boring<-- I agree with this as well, but I'll usually feel bored about 2 years into the company. It's good to know I'm not alone on this.
