Damn how does one find such gigs and do so in a sustainable way?
- dbrueck 4y agoDIY, mostly. The first one that was truly my own I did by starting a dev-for-hire/consulting company and stashing some of the proceeds on the side to fund development of my first startup, and then from there it's self-sustaining. For passing the baton to the right people, finding those people is partially luck to begin with and basic networking, but after awhile you know a good group of people that you've worked with in the past (or are friends of them). More than once I've handed things off to some of the same people - I'm ready to leave this gig right as they are ready to leave the prior one.

- d3mony 4y agoI've gotten a lot of gigs through this site. Sustainable? hahaha
- flashgordon 4y agoHa. Well true that sustainable is a very vague metric. Working out of a faang definitely puts you in comfort zone and as I get older I am trying to see how to wean off it and go independent (even if it is a bit more of a slog) so I can diversify more and really utilize more of myself. Retirement isn't close but isn't looking rosy either :)
