What sites do you use to find good contract work?
1 comments

The usual job sites like indeed.com. Even when I have enough work, I look a couple of times/day.
How do you define “good”? When I looked at contract work briefly in 2023 and 2024, contract rates for enterprise dev and the type of work you find on Indeed was around $60-$80/hour W2. Which is really on the low to median end of even enterprise dev once you take into account no paid PTO, no health insurance, and you can’t even count on working 1800 hours a year.
What types of contracts / work do you do? Website design type stuff (front/backend)? Mobile apps? Other?
backend development.
