If you ask me, I will say that you should start freelancing after spending 2-3 years honing your skills. I would recommend spending a couple of years working in a company, which will help you learn skills at a quicker rate. It will also help you improve your communication and learn different aspects of your business because Freelancing is also like a business. As a freelancer, you are the salesperson, project manager, executor, accountant, etc.
The reason I got instant success as a freelancer (You can read my story here: Overcoming Fear Of Failure) was that I had the five-year job experience behind me before I started the freelancing journey.
During my years in the job, I moved around in all the departments (even in the accounts department) because I was a newbie who was highly energetic and wanted to learn about everything.
My last year was in the sales department as a Business Analyst, which helped me learn about the different freelancing platforms and how to bid on them.
