But for some on-site hardware jobs, demand seems to have increased (anecdotally?). Was about to go full-time retired, but people started calling during the summer. Very senior level engineers having experience in test, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, product safety, and EMC, and that can code, that are willing to go to customers' sites seem to be in demand. Towards the end of 2019, I was not going to renew my LLC because most of my long-term clients had either departed the area or had been bought up by Big Corp. I am guessing that my increased on-site demand will continue through 3Q 2022. Then I will retire when the others decide it is safe to return, or their other options decrease, or when I die from the plague du jour.
