From one who has BTDT, you will not be able to work freely until you get a company to sponsor you*. If you do achieve this, you will still have the same FM2 visa, but your status will change from “economically dependent on your spouse/foreign income” (as the case may be) to “authorized to work for Company XYZ,” and this change of status will be documented with an annotation in your visa booklet.

*Or if you can successfully get permission to work independently. I’ve BTDT, too.
