Product company to freelancing

Been working for top product companies for 6+ years as a software developer and currently product manager. Motivation earlier used to be learning etc but right now its mostly money where i am currently at. There is no skill growth, just applying what i already know, days are busy which doesnt give me any time for other things ( upskilling, side projects) Explored the market and have found freelancing role that lets me

1. work remotely 2.Gives me opportunity to work on latest tech stack ( frustrated with not being able to code in my current job)
2. Lets me control my time as fixed hours are billed and you can commit hours ( might work only 20-30 hours a week and reclaim the rest)

Thinking of transitioning but not sure as we are fed to work in good product companies and look at service/freelancing in bad light. I feel like most of what i needed to learn via my job in product management, i have learnt already and feel like not being able to code as much is making me outdated as a builder.

Tldr: good job that pays well but skills are not growing, another option is to turn to freelancing, earn 70% of what i currently earn but helps me upskill, gain control of my time and maybe experiment with side projects in remaining time
