As other people have said, you can negotiate for this. I've done it at multiple jobs. Here's an interview with someone who has been doing it for 15 years: https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/01/08/part-time-programmer/ https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/01/08/part-time-programmer...
1. It's easier at existing job; you have all this knowledge that's hard to replace (https://codewithoutrules.com/2019/01/25/4-day-workweek-easy-way/ https://codewithoutrules.com/2019/01/25/4-day-workweek-easy-...).
2. At new jobs, apply normally. Then _after_ you get an offer, ask for shorter hours.
3. I wrote a book about the process; it's no longer public linked on my site because pandemic has lowered negotiation leverage a lot and I'm not sure how to address that, but if you're interested: https://codewithoutrules.com/3dayweekend/ https://codewithoutrules.com/3dayweekend/
- bloudermilk 6y agoHaving been a engineering manager before, it would put an extremely bad taste in my mouth if someone waited until the offer stage to ask for a part time role.
- jazz_from_hell 6y agoI can understand why you feel that way. But many companies simply doesn’t want to talk to people who wants to work part-time. (As in ”don’t call us, we’ll call you”.) So even if it might seem pushy to negotiate like that, at least to me it’s understandable.
- ohyeshedid 6y agoIt also has the potential to waste your time and theirs. I wouldn't call it pushy as much as borderline deceptive.
