Slightly at a tangent, and I hope you don't mind me asking: I moved to Paris last month and the freelancing opportunities seem to be a lot less plentiful than in London (android developer), do you look anywhere specific? I'm on freelance-info.fr and linkedin only

I started on Malt. I get most offers through Linkedin now. I also worked with intermediaries (consultime, digital & you). They can be old-fashioned and you have to negotiate well with them but they're almost necessary if you want to work for big corps. Send them your resume or try to find a recruiter through LinkedIn. There are other platforms like Malt: Comet (I haven't worked there though) and others that I can't remember right now..

Nice one! Thanks for the tips. I've got the furthest with a company called iD.Apps who seem pretty solid (and obviously focussed on mobile apps). But I hadn't heard of Malt, I'll register tonight and send my CV to the others too, cheers.

For mobile have a look at https://www.bam.tech/

I've worked for their sister company (Theodo) which makes web apps. They work with employees but sometimes when they get too much demand they can bring freelance on board

Really good working environment there
