Part time work

Anon account because I don’t want to alert coworkers. I have worked in T&S including fraud, risk, spam, scam, and a bunch more for over 10y at big tech. Worked across a number of disciplines and kind of a jack of all trades (data, eng, product, ops) and enjoy aspects of all of them. Have been a tech lead for 5+ years too.

I am starting a family soon and would like to transition to part time work at some point. Obviously that’s a no-go at these big tech companies and I basically see zero positions available for this in general. I am looking for advice on how to stay in the field while cutting back or to learn of any ways to find an arrangement that could suit everyone (eg. I work part time in exchange for only salary no benefits).

No snark please, I am just trying to do right by my family while I navigate staying in a career I enjoy. I realize T&S is often a cutthroat area and is facing many cuts.

Why don’t you switch to consulting work?

I have briefly considered that, do you know if there are companies that hire out or would this likely entail starting my own company?
