I'm a fairly senior agency grunt who has been building web sites and applications for around a decade. I enjoy it but would just like more free time for projects, hikes, etc. If I could earn 3/5ths of my salary for working 3/5ths my current time, I'd take it. Really, I'd be open 2/5th - 4/5th or working full time with some extended time off between projects. I'm not a great networker so not sure freelance would be the easiest option for me but I'd be open. I'm just looking for ideas and to hear from others about their experiences.

I keep finding myself thinking that I'd be a lot happier sacrificing working time for salary. I'd love to find an opportunity where I cut my working hours and salary in half.

I've been in the agency grind doing full stack development for the last five years so I do have a good amount of experience. I work remotely in a smallish suburban city (population around 200,000). I like my work but would love to be able to have more time for family, side projects, etc.

Just curious if anyone else has thoughts, suggestions or experiences about finding stable part time work in this field.

I’m a mid-level web developer (three years full time, full stack, agency work, around four years part time work and college before that). My family and I are wanting to transition eventually to living, at least for awhile, outside the US. We are open in terms of location but I need a reasonable salary (adjusted for local cost of living) and health benefits for my family and myself.

Are there opportunities out there for something like this? I don’t think it would be particularly difficult for me to transition to a new job domestically but I really have no idea where to start with the process of looking abroad. Any advice is appreciated.
