Any UX/UI peeps out there with a pretty successful side hustle? Trying to figure out the best way to freelance my UX skills...

All of my side-work is unrelated to UX specifically. I do some web-dev and design, as well as illustrations from time to time. Most places serious enough about UX seem to want a team or agency, vs a freelancer.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
