My preferred working styles

#contracting #remote-work

I’d like to get offers that match my profile. To help you with that, here are the working styles I prefer.

0. Regular contract

Still interesting, but a lower priority.

I. Intensive short contract

100% on-site, anywhere on the globe. Very intensive and very well paid. If I’m busy, mention this style in your first message.

II. Very intensive: 3 weeks on, 1 week off

My favourite style. 100% on-site, no remote work required. Longer contracts preferred, permanent roles possible.

For three weeks I stay close to your workplace. I do whatever is needed, come early and leave late, and if possible I also work on Saturdays. All this overtime adds up to “a paid week off”. To stay creative, I also need a break during the day (up to 30 minutes, without any interaction).

  • If there isn’t enough overtime, I accept unpaid days off (at most 3 per month).
  • If it’s easier to account for, a higher daily rate with an unpaid week off works for me too.

III. Partially remote work

1-3 weeks on-site, the rest remotely. Permanent roles possible.

IV. Full-time remote work

The usual.

Any mix of the above styles works too.

My commitment

  • On my days off I stay reachable in case my knowledge of the project is needed: I check messages and give advice.
  • Remote interventions need to be scheduled, so that I have my full equipment at hand.
