One thing you could consider doing is to get a part-time job. That way you can see how you feel about the transition without completely shutting down your current gigs.
- djcapelis 10y agoKnow of companies that do part time jobs in this industry? I went freelance entirely because I couldn't find a part time employment situation that made sense. Most people I talked to were enthusiastic about hiring full time folks, but just didn't even know how to begin hiring someone part time, or explicitly said their companies didn't do that. I am sure if I was less picky or had a skill set with broader appeal (I'm somewhat specialized at this point) I'd have maybe found something, but part time in tech is a shockingly hard uphill battle.
- disease 10y agoI've been looking for part-time work with very little success. Still hearing the old "if one person is working part-time then everyone will want to" excuse.
- intrasight 10y agoEveryone should want to - and more companies should support that. I believe that the reason they don't in the tech field is that once you define you "part time" in hours - say 20/wk - you are exposing the fallacy of "full time" being 40/wk.
