I am wondering how we would spend our lives if it became significantly longer, like 1000 years long.

Shoot!

Few days back, there was a Ask HN 'How to move beyond “freelancer”?' : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9289500

Some comments mentioned about getting projects from large companies:

pauletienney (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9289724):

- Once you have a team, you will look for interesting projects. They are more complicated to get. They often come from medium / large organization. Those orgs. have important inertia. Projects can take weeks of month to start. Chase multiple projects at the same time.

Instead, find startups with technical people doing the recruiting or large companies with established roles and processes for freelancers. They will at least understand market rates and what you actually do.

How do we find out which companies have 'established' roles and processes for freelancers?

Also, what are some other ways to approach companies for remote projects? What techniques have you tried that seem to work : for example cold emails, picking up the phone and calling at office hours?

I understand that having people from your network in companies helps. My query is mostly related to companies where we do not have anyone from our network.

PS: We are a team of two who have been doing software consulting and development for a year, and are looking at ways to get larger, longer contracts, which we are thinking might come if we approach large companies.
