I know it's usually networking, but lately it dried up for me. Upwork clients seem not willing to pay anything higher than $20/h.

What is your go to place for contracting gigs?

Use your professional network. Are you on LinkedIn? Reach out to former colleagues. Find out what challenges they are facing and casually mention that you do consulting on the side.

I am, however, most of my friends are running a start-up or are safe in a corporate job. I tried my best reaching out, but without any luck. I had one potential client talk, who said he will be in touch if he gets funding approved.
