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?

I've been using Contra for a while now, mostly as a place to showcase our work.

But lately I've been wondering how people actually use the platform to get hired.

Is it the projects you publish? Your profile? Being active in the community? Applying to jobs?

We've had clients find us through different places, but Contra still feels a little different to me. There's the portfolio side, the community side, the job side, and I'm not sure how much each one actually matters.

So I'm curious: if you've gotten projects through Contra, what actually worked for you?

I'd especially love to hear from people who've been using it for a while, not just what you're supposed to do, but what actually led to a project.

That’s exactly what I wanted to know as well. I was hoping to find someone who could guide me.
