I was in this situation, now I'm contracting with Surge, working 100% remotely, making my own hours. There are days where I work 4 hours, and days that I work 12. I enjoy not commuting, being able to work out in the middle of the day, take my daughter to the park, cook lunch, etc.

Is Surge actively looking for subcontractors?

  They're always looking for full stack devs. Send me your resume and I can forward it to the hiring manager. My email is my HN username @ Gmail.

    It says One or more of the following skillsets is also required You wouldn't necessarily be doing all of those things every day- I'm assuming they go out and find short-term work then assign it to you and you do it. So you could be doing just about anything. As a side note; I'm only a few years into my career and have extensive experience with a vast majority of those technologies/frameworks, and picking up a new one is a cinch if you just put the time in.
