Ask HN: Have you considered consulting/freelance work since the pandemic?
5 by v1l | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I do consulting (engineering) work for startups. And one thing I've observed in the past two years is how much more startups are open to working with freelance/fractional talent, both for ongoing help and specific projects. I've seen startups generously hire non-full time help for devops, data eng, and full-stack work. There's a definite, visible shift from pre-pandemic days. Have any of you picked up part-time/fractional/moonlighting work? How was it worked out for you? Would you do more of it? For context (and disclaimer), I am building brighthuman.com, so I don't deny that I have a selfish interest in learning about what others are doing.
