Thanks for the info about how it works in different European countries.

You have realistic points, someone taking the pains to import me should really be interested in my skills to be worth it.

Thought i can't say i have enough savings to travel on my own, the only things i have to sell are my skills. (don't even have my passport, never flew, but that can be taken care of i suppose)

Revealing a bit more, i am a css/frontend guy (people say i am good, though no at all great/brilliant/Google/Yahoo standards). This actually might be a -ve point, as most agencies would prefer to hire solid 'programmers' from outside not a soft coder like 'css guy', what you think?

Agreed.

My first post on HN and replies that are actually helping me clear out my doubts/concerns!

I think on the long term i am going to find few reliable local 'associates/friends' with whom i can share projects/profits and discuss code etc, as you mentioned.

Your second paragraph is amazingly motivating. Within these 7/8 months i kind of became rude/aggressive while working, and frankly did not give those points much thought.

Will implement them and definitely going to be more expressive, polite with my words and firm with my action. I think that will be more professional and will go a long way if i have to do some meaninful/longterm business.

Well reasoj being from where i come, not many people leave a happily paying job to freelance. And most of those who do, build their own company. Amongst my local tech group also i am the only one who is not either a employee or employer.

Yes i have seen some businesses though not completely failing but not doing great, which kind of deters me just to jump right into it.

And i think that is a good idea, to have some personal projects/passive income besides client works. Thanks for reminding :)
