So I work full-time as a Design Engineer developing consumer products. I have been doing some side gigs on and off for the last couple years on top of my full-time gig. I recently bid on a couple larger projects (approx. 500 hours of work for the next 3-4 months, plus more beyond the initial development if things go well)... I would like to find someone that can help me with these jobs and possibly partner to build something big. I have had a hard time finding reliable people... where do I look?

Is this software product design? If yes, I am interested to know more about it and partner in it. I will DM you to connect

No, not software. Physical product design (mechanical engineering)

Hello! What kind of consumer products you’re talking about. I might be interested as a „side gig“

Doesn’t seem like there’s really a best way, by posting here is a good option itself. My friend and I have been creating something on the side and we look for people through word of mouth. I would be interested in learning more about what you are working on to see if I would be useful to you and enjoy the work!

The recruiter will let me know if any remote roles come up but in the mean time, does anyone have any remote Amazon roles that they’d refer me to?

Is it normal for a start-up to be super vague and keep setting up meetings to get to know you but gives you bare minimum details about them?

I had a start-up reach out to me and after a few meetings I have barely been able to get any information about them. I don't know name, size, or anything but a vague description about what they offer (don't even know what role they would want me in). Is this normal or am I right to be annoyed?
