Have you considered going independent and getting a few clients on retainer? That’s what I do and most of my clients stick around for 5+ years and often have bigger projects to work on from time to time. I work around 20 hours most weeks and make enough to live a comfortable life. There is a lot of work out there If you can sell your skills.

Could you expand on how you found clients? There are indeed lots of clients, the hard part is how to find them and convince them to work with you.
Sure, I'll put something together and post either a response or a link here when I can.
He said he wants to be independent. He is asking how to get clients.
I didn't read it that way at all. It sounds to me like he's asking how to find a particular role/job, not how to find multiple clients.
Exactly - I read it as the OP was looking for ways to find another full-time job for one company where he gets to be a 'one-man show'.
I've read it the same.
