1. Have you saved enough money to last without an acceptable income for more than a year?
2. Are you prepared to spend a couple of years without enough / acceptable case load and without giving in to anxiety?
3. Do you have a network of friends / former colleagues who can refer work or involve you in ongoing matters?
4. Have you attained enough skills and confidence to advise and appear without having to rely on a senior?
If the answer to these questions is Yes, you may consider going independent now. Some oldies will ask you where your office is.. but most clients do not care anymore.
