I&#x27;m not an entrepreneur looking to moonlight from my startup. I&#x27;m not starting a consultancy and need some extra work while I build a client base. I&#x27;m a programmer (and occasional UX designer) who likes his job and has always had an interest in programming but I also have some hobbies that are very important to me that don&#x27;t make any money. I&#x27;m very happy when I have a chance to work in software  about 3 days a week and the clients I&#x27;ve found that accept that schedule tend to be happy with my work (many have asked me back when they have enough work for me).<p>But for most companies asking for part time work is a non-starter. I&#x27;ve heard in some other countries asking for part time work is more accepted, is this merely a culture issue? I constantly hear about how hard it is to find good&#x2F;experienced engineers and yet it seems like most companies would rather stick with the status quo than even entertain the idea of someone less than full time.<p>Anyone else have a better experience seeking part time employment in software? Are there companies that are good for this?
