I feel like I’ve seen every recent Python job vacancy in my area and around, and it doesn’t bring me joy.

@ainmosni I hope so too, but I have doubt at the moment.
-
@mahryekuh Are you looking for freelance / part-time / project work or for a full-time job?
-
@rami Originally freelance, fully remote, part-time, but I am willing to reconsider the freelance part under specific circumstances.
I also recently discovered that US East Coast time works very well for me, so not too stuck on Europe.

Does #GetFediHired work for freelance jobs? I am open to a new Python or Django gig, effective immediately, for up to four days a week (~32 hours). I am also skilled in HTML, CSS, and JS as progressive enhancement, and have accessibility in mind. I work remotely from The Netherlands. Invoicing works best within the EU or the US, but outside these regions is not off the table.

To clarify further… the market for Python isn’t as big as some others, especially in my area.
Python vacancies involve AI or machine learning, and I’m not interested in those.
If you add to that the desire to work remotely and not support gambling, betting, crypto, and some other industries, you’re out-niching yourself quickly.
Python also mixes poorly with accessibility jobs; an industry I’ve been itching to enter proper after over a decade of interest.
Not a complaint, just thinking aloud.

@mahryekuh Its surprising how difficult it is to find a suitable job once you include ethical constraints

@BafDyce Yeah, which says something about the tech industry.
-
@mahryekuh In what other way(s) do you think you'd like to enter the accessibility industry? Beyond integrating it into any software you make, which is obviously a critically important thing in itself.
-
@jscholes I am still determining. It has been in my mind since I decided not to do front-end development anymore.
I am underqualified in most ways and need to learn more about the types of jobs and the actual practical and professional knowledge. I fear this will take much longer than I can bargain for now. (It would essentially be a career switch).
I plan to meet with one of my auditor acquaintances in the city soon to hear what he thinks about local (Dutch) opportunities.
-
@mahryekuh Well if I can help with any context/thoughts, albeit outside of that specific market, let me know.
-
@jscholes Thank you! If I have a better idea of what I want I’ll let you know (aside from running out of the IT industry screaming)!
-
@mahryekuh I know what you mean, I’m in the east of the country and companies either don’t appreciate my skillset or don’t want to pay. Or they’re sexist and toxic
-
@mahryekuh Good to know! I'm not sure we have the capacity and suitable projects for another freelancer right now, but I'll check and keep you in mind!
-
@rami Thank you!
-
@Anneke Yes, yes, and yes.
