For those looking to find such a job, I'd recommend going independent. Though I usually work 40+ hours a week, given my current client base and relationships, I could easily setup the contract to be such that I work for <= 20hrs a week.
Also, I really think that this model only works at an hourly level. We all know that being on salary always equates to 40+ hours a week, emphasis on the +.
- ams6110 10y agoSalary actually equates to "getting a job done" without really counting hours at all. That's why they are "exempt" positions.
- analog31 10y ago"Exempt" simply means exempt from some provisions of the labor laws, notably overtime pay. If "get the job done" were really taken seriously by employers, then the OP could offer to get his job done every day in 6 hours rather than 8, and take no salary cut. In reality, that employee would get laughed out of the office.
