I'm from the Netherlands, which is parttime king of the world.
I haven't worked in a fulltime software development job for almost two decades now. Never has it been a problem. Never was my parttime requirement the reason to not hire me. I don't even consider fulltime an option.
I'm very surprised at how people here react to this idea. Untill you pointed out it may be cultural thing.
Another reason for me to not even consider working for a US tech company.
- city17 5y agoJust curious, how many hours have you been working mostly? 32 or even less? I'm also looking for a part-time dev role in the Netherlands and having some trouble finding anything under 32 hours. I could've signed several jobs already if I were willing to go full time.
- berkes 5y agoto be clear: I've been "working" 40+ hours. But tried to keep 16hours "for myself": Hours in which I work on personal projects, on private customers (freelance, consultancy etc) and open source. So I mostly had upwards of 24 and at most 32 hour employment contracts.
