This relies on you being a trusted and valued worker for the firm who allows you to work 3 days. So work hard at your job and the management will likely be okay with you asking.
That's what I did for a couple of startups.
Having a work-day or two available for work-time meetings with customers and lawyers / suppliers makes a large difference. People treat you more seriously when you are able to make a daytime meeting.
Careful calendar managament can give the impression of a full fledged business.
Until of course you need to support customers, and suddenly they need support at all sort of inconvenient times. Nothings perfect!!
yeah. this is what I'm doing. I'm fortunate in that I have enough experience to command a pretty good rate, and I can demand corp-to-corp payment. With this, I turn around and hire inexperienced, cheap, but pretty good SysAdmins to handle customers while I'm with my client.
But yeah, 3 days a week is immensely better than working 5 days a week for someone else, then trying to get something done on the weekends.
