Ask HN: What sites do you use to find contract work?
I would avoid sites like Upwork (aka: odesk), elance, and anything similar like the plague unless working for less than minimum wage and dealing with morons is your idea of good contract work.<p>I suspect the secret to contract work success lies in having really good networking skills and a Rolodex of contacts from having worked in a given industry and having a reputation as someone who delivers.  If you don&#x27;t have that then you would probably have better luck finding reasonable work by going to meetups or similar industry events to build a network of professional contacts.  The only way I know of to do this online is to become a notable contributor to prominent open source projects and then use that to leverage paid work.
