The work-life balance sucked this year as everyone is forcing to go back to offices. I'm really contemplating on going freelance but I've not heard many freelancing Project Managers, is this rare? Is this a niche, do I need to have a portfolio of clients? (Looking to avoid work drama and seeing if it's worth it before calling on stress leave?)

Going freelance takes some contacts and confidence and hustle. But If you’re cautious about getting started there are recruitment agencies that can hook you up for less pay. Then as you get more contacts and confidence you can be a free agent. Going freelance won’t solve all your problems but some. If a project is crazy it has an end date. You can choose crazy ones or tame ones. You can plan out breaks. It’s good stuff. Have a good resume ready. Good luck.

It is possible. Smaller agencies use freelance pms.

just start by reaching out to as many senior people as possible I'd say
