I'm trying to quit my corporate job and move into freelancing. How do I find clients? Anyone want to hire me?

    First thing you need to do is learn to sell yourself. You have provided no information about your technical expertise, domain expertise, location or rate expectations. This is like someone random turning up at the front desk of a random company and saying 'want to give me a job?'.

    Staffing firms. Dice.com. Local start-up incubators. There's a ton of independent contractor work in the U.S., especially if you have full-stack dev skills, AWS Lambda, Angular, DevOps, and can easily fit into any team.
