Hey /biz/
I want to find a job I can work while working at my current job.
I have enough downtime at my current job to add a part-time workload. I work in administration and want to eventually transition into tech. Naturally, I'm interested in supplementary income but also I want to add skills and experience learned through work in that sector. Specifically I'm probably looking at webdev/full stack/etc stuff. And while I'm looking for such a position, I plan on building a portfolio (and none of the pieces will generate significant income).
Remote positions would make this arrangement possible, but I don't find many that only have a part-time workload...or at least they're not published with that language. I'm wondering though: in work labeled as "contract" (remote) jobs, is it possible to work on a part-time basis? I've seen some such postings with quantified hours, but most do not. Or, if there's some other avenue of getting work-allotments that constitute ~25hrs a week, I'd love to hear it.
Any help?

Hey OP, I'm in the same spot as you. But I'm lacking in motivation to get project ideas moving. Maybe we could collaborate to help each other with portfolio development and resume development? Let me know and I'll post my e-mail.

Trade futures. The sky is the limit anon, don't be a pussy.

Sure, np. Just set me up with a non-trivial amount of capital and I'll trade away.

no amount of capital is trivial if you actually had what it takes to be successful at trading

You should apply that edge to your trading strategy.

Web development (Ruby/PHP/Python/JS), AI, bots, and sysadmin/devops. I prefer back-end dev but I'm still interested in developing full-stack.

I'm not sure I have anything to offer. My projects are just excuses to learn something (and I have a lot to learn still so...). I'm guessing you're already ahead of me in skillset; all I can imagine is for you to just spin up some relatively useless sites which rely on the tech you know, and just posting them on your resume. I'm pretty sure you're already qualified for a good deal of the part-time remote gigs I see...you just need the portfolio.
