Basically title. I have 12+ YoE in front end, React for the last 8ish. I was laid off over a year ago, which at the time was actually a relief, I was super burned out and have young kids. I made quite good money for the last 5+ years and my wife is a high earner so we are in decent shape financially. So I took some time off. I worked on a few different side projects/startups that are in purgatory right now, really not much to show for the work.
I’ve started to apply for roles again, not getting interviews but at the same time I’m just really dreading going back to the 9-5 grind. Just going through interviews feels pretty overwhelming tbh. Imposter syndrome, busy family life, etc.
So anyway, I’m wondering if anyone has ideas for less than full time roles that would allow me to spend as much time with my kids as I am now? 20-30 hours would be ideal. It would be great if I could get an hourly rate similar to what I was making before but I could handle a pay cut to get the flexibility.
