How was the transition for you? Did you already have clients from past work or did you start cold?

Start cold.

I had money saved up for a few months.

I sent some cold emails to some companies that I knew might be interested in my profile and contacted people looking for freelancers, monthly ask HN seeking freelancers was a good place to start. Also, I contacted some friends in the market offering my services.

Note to anyone considering doing something similar: Networking is an important business, don't neglect it.
