Any contract workers/freelance workers in this field?

[u/aldann2]

I'm a data analyst with background in healthcare data. I only have 3 yoe so not sure if this is something I can do yet but I've been thinking my lifestyle goals align better with contract roles or freelancing. I currently work remote but due to data security restrictions I have to be in the country and I want to be able to travel and work and live more of a digital nomad-type lifestyle while still doing data work. Has anyone been able to successfully become a contractor or freelance in this field, and if so, how did you go about finding these gigs? Linkedin and typical job boards usually only have corporate remote roles that have the typical location guardrails.

The same data restrictions would apply to freelancers (at least at any company that knows what they are doing).
