Mid/long term contracts are usually not ideal, because it's too close to employment when done full time and that's high risk for the company and the freelancer.<p>Part time contracts seem to be quite rare "in the wild". However, every contract I have got through my network and personal outreach has been much more flexible and created longer-lasting relationships.<p>The more you look into mid/long term fulltime projects as a freelancer the less you consider yourself a real business in my opinion.
