So part time? This is pretty normal in nearly every company I’ve worked in, lots of people take it to spend more time with young kids
- philmcp 6y agoFor all the companies I've worked at, the developers are all full-time so I envy your industry / location if part-time is common. More generally though, I feel employees almost need an "excuse" to work part time (i.e. some reason such as childcare). I wish for a time when a significant % of developer jobs are advertised as near-full time and that I'm not stereotyped as lazy for applying to them. There's more to life than reviewing pull requests...
- andruby 6y agoSome of my most productive colleagues work 4/5th. They are often more productive than fulltimers. In most European countries this is normal and not frowned upon. Some countries even protect this option for employees by law.
- namdnay 6y agoCompletely normal in most European jobs. And you don’t need to have an excuse, especially as a developer, which adapts perfectly to part-time work (harder for a PM or PjM or EM) But don’t envy us too much, the counterpart is that our salaries are much much lower than the US (even at 100%).
