Hello everyone,
I've been on Contra for a while now and upgraded to the Pro plan about 9 months ago. So far, it feels like there aren't as many opportunities for software engineers as I expected.
For those who've successfully earned through Contra, do most of your gigs come from the Contra job feed, or do you mainly bring your own clients onto the platform?
Also, does success on the platform depend heavily on your discovery score? Do you essentially need to be in the top 1% to get consistent opportunities? If so, what are the best ways to improve your score?
