My concern is can you make it worth my time? Do people hire staff/architect level devs on a freelance basis? I don't want to compete with developers in developing countries.
I use my free time for music and family (not in that order)
I can fully relate to this. For this reason, I generally prefer to work with just one "primary" client at a time.
Doing any moonlighting alongside a job though is playing on hard mode.
With regards to finding a full time job, how do you go about it (when you do)? Just hit up your network?
