Ask HN: Does anyone have extra contracting work?

4 points by mattermark ↗ HN
Hi! I'm looking for some dev shops and individuals who would like pass on (for a cut of course) some extra contracts they might not have the bandwidth for.

I have up to 5 developers, including myself, ready to start working ASAP.

Collective skill-sets: NodeJS, Python, BackboneJS, AngularJS, MeteorJS, MySQL, MongoDB, AWS, cross platform mobile apps.

Please point any opportunities at matter.mark.limited (at) gmail (dot) com and respond in this thread with any questions. Thanks!

where have you been looking to find contracting work thus far? Usually it's best to start by making connections in your city (unless you don't live in a large enough city for it to provide these options)

A few questions.

Where are you based out of? Country?

Are you an existing team looking to supplement while you are building your product(s)/startup? Or are you trying to break into consulting? Or are you already in consulting but need additional work?

How long have you all been consulting, or is this new? Is the team already together or is this 5 devs with full time gigs trying to get some side work? Is the team all in the same timezone or spread out (helps when coordinating work to know which as each has its advantages)?

Great questions:

- We are all based in the US

- 2 of us work on small SaaS startups, 3 of us run a small consultancy shop and need additional work

- All 5 of us have consulting experience at the same consultancy. Since then 3 of us broke off to start a small consultancy shop and 2 of us broke off to do SaaS startups

- All 5 of of us are available for full-time (40 hours a week) commitments

- We are not in the same timezone - two of us are Mountain Time and three of us are Eastern Time
