Maybe try working through an agency? I'm in a similar boat, and I've been doing part-time work through Toptal. You certainly get more opportunities if you're full time, but I've been able to steadily get 10-20 hours a week at a rate that would come out around $300k if I was working full time. For me that is plenty to live comfortably and I'm able to choose to have more free time and not feel "owned" by a full time salary position that would likely be more like 60 hours a week of my time.
