问HN：我感到疲惫不堪，辞去了工作——关于转向自由职业/咨询有什么建议吗？
我作为软件工程师工作了将近7年，经历了一段长时间的无法完成的截止日期和巨大的工作压力后，最终感到非常疲惫，因此我决定辞职。
我没有寻找其他工作——我真的需要休息，幸运的是，我所在国家的生活成本相对较低，所以我能够负担得起。
两个月后，我感觉好多了，我想重新开始工作，不过我希望能对期望和截止日期的设定有更多的直接控制，因此我认为自由职业可能是一个不错的选择。
我在想我是否朝着正确的方向思考，同时也想了解目前自由职业市场的情况。我做了一些研究，听说人工智能在Upwork和其他平台上造成了很多竞争和垃圾信息。

I've been working as a software engineer for close to 7 years now, ended up burning out pretty bad after a long period of impossible deadlines and lots of pressure at work, so I decided to quit.<p>I did not look for other work - really needed a break, and luckily cost of living in my country is pretty low so I could afford it.<p>2 months later I feel much better and I would like to get back to working, though I would like to have more direct control over how expectations and deadlines are set - so I thought that freelancing would be good way to get that.<p>I'm wondering if I am thinking in the right direction here, and also how the situation is on the freelance market currently, I did some reading up and I hear that AI has caused a lot of competition/spam on Upwork and other platforms.
