How do I get those contracts? I'm a full-stack developer with 10 years of experience, also some data analytics experience. I got laid off almost two weeks ago.

  There is a lot of contractors and you have to be extremely good to do what the dude/dudette said. Like - have a unique skillset, have multiple certifications, recommendations, proven B2B experience as a consultant. Then getting contracts is easy. Probably less easy now tho.

    I contracted for the better part of a decade and I wasn't extremely good, but I was solid technically and trusted as a problem solver, so I got my first contract from my personal network, and then built it from there. If I had to rely on being extremely good and going in cold I'd still be looking. Your best bet is to go with a third party and then eventually go independent once you have your own reputation and network.

  Second this, I’m full-stack with experience on everything from embedded firmware to frontend. I’d really like to try this route, but I’m not sure how to get in the door.

  Lets talk. I have recently started consulting focused on data analytics. May be we could collaborate.
