If you're an good and know a few people then you'll probably be OK.
It'll be a steep learning curve and you almost certainly need to pull
a few all-nighters though it's not rocket science; you just have to
wear more hats.

The market has been good for a few years now though if you're used to
being a permie then ideally you should have 3-6 months living expenses
saved up to give you a buffer.

If you have a young family then make sure that your OH is willing to
take on the lion's share of childcare at times so that you can work.
