Comment on Ask HN: Do you look for freelance tech opportunities? What do you hate about it?

Comments

I think that’s hard to agree with and we do freelance work all the time.

This is because people go to freelancers for 1. Speed 2. Quality 3. Temporary work

If something is temporary and you want it fast then a majority of the time you’ll want it cheap.

BUT you could find a really small market that wants to go fast and expensive - it’s just much smaller

I don't know where you're based but if you're out of the US, then by design the clients you're working with want it cheap. But between cheap and ridiculously pricey, there is a world of freelancers that are just reasonably priced but not cheap -- and similarly, clients who have those budgets (even if for short durations).
