The problem with this question is that there is a significant gap between pay rates for part time and full time work.
I am a contract worker for a big company right now. They expect me to work 40 hours or more a week. If I could convert this contract to 20 or 24 hours a week for the same pay, I'd do it quickly. The problem is that those contracts or jobs are hard to find, and they usually pay significantly less per hour. (We'll ignore health care for now.)
I'd love to run or work at a company where most people work 20 hours a week, with spikes only as necessary. It would mean a completely different attitude toward working.
- ryanwaggoner 18y agoCounter-example: I used to do contract development work at $65 - 85 / hr. At 40 hours per week, this would equate to $130k to $170k / year. But if I was to get a full-time job as a developer at my skill level, I'd probably make half of that.
- ibsulon 18y agoI agree. However, it's more difficult to find gigs that are looking for consistent 20 hours a week, especially contracting for larger companies. If this is untrue, would you mind sharing your secrets for finding them?
