Title: TLDR; My main question if you needed emergency dev work to pay the bills how would you find it? Sob story alert below...<p>I had a decent client back in May&#x2F;June but on June 1st rent was due and the client hadn&#x27;t paid so I let them know development would cease till I received payment. I then got an email I was removed from bit bucket and slack and then ghosted.<p>I&#x27;ve been trying to find a new client ever since but for some reason it&#x27;s been hard going. Usually they find me and I&#x27;ve had to turn them down.<p>I&#x27;ve reached out to all previous leads and clients and nobody has any work right now.<p>We just moved into a cheaper apartment but spent all our savings on deposit, first and last months rent, one month of storage and a uhaul, and groceries and gas.<p>Today my Internet bill came due $247 for August and July plus a moving fee.<p>I&#x27;m flat broke, our credit isn&#x27;t great. I don&#x27;t have anyone to borrow money from. I even tried r&#x2F;borrow on Reddit.<p>Without internet I can&#x27;t even work on my side project I&#x27;m trying to build (a Reddit tool for scheduling across multiple accounts, view all inbox messages across multiple accounts, view all slack&#x2F;twitter DM&#x27;s, and a scrumboard that I can add leads to via one click and autofollowup with them in a few months. Basically it&#x27;ll make managing job and freelance on slack and Reddit much easier.)<p>I just need one good client my hourly is $80 but I&#x27;ve even tried dropping back down to $50 and no takers. I&#x27;m almost 40 with two boys under 3 years old and at the end of my rope. I&#x27;m trying to fight back depression but it&#x27;s getting harder each day. Imposter syndrome is starting to set in even though I know I&#x27;m a solid developer.<p>I know react, Vue, express, ionic, node and laravel. I can also get around in a rails app. What I don&#x27;t know I can learn.<p>Willing to do weekly pay where I might work an average of 50-60 hours per week for 1800&#x2F;week.
