There is always W2 contracting. Find a few local recruiting companies. You officially work for the recruiting company but you work for short 6-12 month stints for companies. If you’re good in the right market, you should be able to find gigs fast with no sales are marketing.

In the UK that is what is known as Contracting. It definitely sounds right for the OP.

You typically get your contracts through recruiters and they typically last 3 to 6 months (sometimes longer). No sales and hustling, just doing your tech work and keeping up to date in your field.

Oh, that's a bit different than what "freelancer" brings to mind.

Yeah, those jobs bring in good money and are uncommitted, probably right for OP.
