    Only difference to freelance/consulting vs agency is you’ll be paid better to deal with the BS. You’ll also be free to decline work when it’s not a good fit or the client gives you bad vibes.

    Try to get 1-2 consulting gigs before you make the leap. Helps to have a bit of cash flow. Starting your own consulting or small agency can be very rewarding. You will run into some of the same terrible clients and website management problems, FYI. Try to build your network to help out when there’s a problem you have someone to call.

    Good luck!
