Were those contracts you got ever listed or advertised more publicly as jobs? Or were these more opportunistic finds for these companies when they got connected to you?
More opportunistic.
The companies had similar full time roles posted they were trying to hire for and but were willing to adapt hire me part time after discussing what I felt I could bring to the table.
I was planning to take time off before applying to full time roles, but then ended up doing part time contract work at a few startups instead and it was the best thing for my mental health. I was able to more concretely separate work from life since when I was on the clock I was billing for it and when I was not I never felt bad as if if I wasn't "doing enough".
My contracts all came through my personal and professional network though, so it's interesting to see a job board focused on part time and contract roles.
