I’m considering it. Gumroad is the main example I can think of where they hire for 20-25 hours per week. It’s easier to find places that hire for 32 hours per week (a 4- or 4.5-day work week). For the latter, I am concerned that the companies end up expecting basically the same output (i.e., it’s a hiring marketing gimmick) since the positions are salaried. I saw one company that said they manage their 4-day weeks by working 10 hours per day! (At least they were honest.) Another company said that they have a 4-day work week (M-Th), but then mentioned that Fridays are great for getting “focused work” done. So I guess what they really mean is that they don’t have meetings on Fridays.
In summary: Yes, I’m interested, but skeptical of many of the places that claim to offer this unless the pay is hourly.
