Ask HN: How to get part-time consulting work?

3 pointsby grnabout 10 years ago
I&#x27;m a software engineer experienced in backend development (C++, Python, Ruby). Currently a lead engineer in an European FinTech company, I&#x27;d like to transition to consulting by the end of the year.<p>My plan is to start consulting part-time on the side and then gradually transition to full-time consulting. My biggest problem is this: I don&#x27;t know where&#x2F;how to find (part-time) clients.<p>Do you have any experience in finding part-time consulting work?

I wasn&#x27;t working on the site for a while but I picked it back up again just last week.<p>My former client Pete Burnight might have some advice for you, he was very helpful to me when I was just starting out. Be advised that he&#x27;s rather high-strung. Real nice guy he only pretends to be pissed off all the time.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.photopete.com&#x2F;contact&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.photopete.com&#x2F;contact&#x2F;index.html</a><p>Pete wrote the user interface for AppleLink.
