    Not a web developer but this may help some: Coming from someone in the tech industry, currently working as a Senior Agile Delivery Manager, I would suggest doing some company work first. I say this because it's a great way to gain some experience coding for clients - even if they're internal clients. You'll hopefully get the chance to pair with senior developers and see builds from ideation though to release. This should help with up-skilling in a functional way.

    It will, hopefully, leave you in a good position to lean on that experience when hunting freelance work. It may also help with figuring out exactly you want to specialise in etc.
