Where do network and telecom engineers look for part-time jobs?

Question

Computer networks

Colleagues, good afternoon!
The question arose: where are network and telecom engineers looking for a part-time job?
Freelance exchanges, as far as I can see, are more focused on web development.
But where to stick your knowledge of BGP, MPLS and the SS7 stack into the bargain?

Answer 1

if you still know how to set up an asterisk, then there will be clients

Answer 2

Not the right profession for freelancing :)
But in general, my friend just runs several companies - here are some chairs for you.

I doubt that people and organizations that need mpls and ox7 are looking for employees on freelance or even from outside.

Answer 4

Beeline, private contract

Answer 5

As an option - a freelancer in an implementation company.

An interesting set. Do you know them perfectly?
If you have a lot of free time, then study. If you have a lot of free time at work, change jobs.
Telecom is an area in which there is always something to learn. And for a good specialist, there is no question of money and free time.
And if you want to be an incoming admin - Avito and others like that.

Answer 7

Let's go a little from the other side: there is a specialist in a fairly narrow area.
In my case, it is a mobile packet core (in other words, mobile Internet) in a mobile telecom operator.
In principle, there are skills that are applicable in other areas:
OSPF / BGP routing
MPLS
Ethernet switching
is used with might and main RADIUS and Diameter
DPI
Carrier grade NAT
At work, something interesting happens, like in any operator, every few years.
I would like to use the existing skills with additional benefits.
With social networking - trouble.
Web developers in this case go to the freelance exchange.
What about network engineers?
