Really? I wouldn't have thunk that this place would have contract roles. Were they w2 or c2c or 1099? The last 2 are super hard to come by. Got any tips to share on where to find such roles?



2007 - 2014 was the heyday for contract roles

now companies are worried about that classification


There's a monthly "seeking freelancer" thread, or at least there used to be. I also always mention my comfort working contract with people even when I'm interviewing for full time roles, in case that's helpful for them. "Any way that gets the money from your bank account to mine".

Edit: Also, I do recommend the "startup match" system they run, I've been having good success with that this year, found my current role and a number of solid roles that were candidates for acceptance. Be forewarned, that there are many well-intentioned but unserious people on there, so you definitely have to do a ton of legwork. Don't judge a book by it's cover, some of the best roles were people who frankly seemed somewhat unhinged but ended up being really interesting and compelling.


Where is the startup match?
