Will my recent bank statement indicate employment issues when applying for a DTV visa?

Hi all, just a quick question. I am planning to apply for the dtv when I have handed my notice in for my current employer. I intend to work freelance on the weekends over the next 6 months to build a stronger application( I know this is not ideal as income will be quite low each month from this but better than nothing.) Would it be a red flag when providing my most recent bank statement as my last pay from the company will likely be on it. Is it likely they will query this? Applying through London embassy for reference

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about applying for a DTV visa after resigning from their job while working freelance. They question if showing their last pay on the bank statement will raise issues. Community members advise that providing a CV or a letter detailing the end of employment could mitigate concerns. Additionally, it's noted that they need to show a minimum income of $2800 from freelance work over three months and maintain a bank balance of 16,000 USD for the application.

Note that you will have to prove minimum income of 2800 USD for a 3 month period in the form of paid invoices from your freelancer clients as well as the 16k in the bank. If you register your own business you can also write the document required to prove you are allowed to work remotely, another criteria that needs to be met for the application.
