More opportunistic.

The companies had similar full time roles posted they were trying to hire for and but were willing to adapt hire me part time after discussing what I felt I could bring to the table.

I left my full time role right at the beginning of the pandemic due to burnout.

I was planning to take time off before applying to full time roles, but then ended up doing part time contract work at a few startups instead and it was the best thing for my mental health. I was able to more concretely separate work from life since when I was on the clock I was billing for it and when I was not I never felt bad as if if I wasn't "doing enough".

My contracts all came through my personal and professional network though, so it's interesting to see a job board focused on part time and contract roles.

Yeah -- Using the second session for grabbing inputs is clever!
