Here in The Netherlands it is quite common for employees to work 4 days a week and receive 80% pay. Most employees will even ask you about it during the interview process.
Most of the people I know who do this is because of the cost of daycare here, which is in most places higher than your rent or mortgage. Both partners will work 4 days but have different off days, so they pay only for 3 days of day care.
As a someone who has worked part time (50%) for a few years now in different companies, I just apply to full time positions and ask about part time towards the end of the process. I found more often than not companies i talked to agreed. Asking early in the process might be more of a reason for a company to just reject you outright. It seems many hiring managers I met think that 50% time equals 50% output which is far from the truth.
I think there might be a bigger shift towards part time being the norm in some time.
Of course another way is to do consulting/freelance :)
Also i’m in the EU so YMMV.
https://4dayweek.io/ has both 4 day week positions and part-time positions.
Any easy job you can do in 4 hours per day for 8 hours of pay.
Outside of tech, optional part time roles are extremely common.
Pretty much mandatory if you want to retain women, TBH.
I wanted to recommend this really great blockchain page called Rather Labs (https://www.ratherlabs.com) to you. They offer a wide range of part-time positions in the blockchain industry, and I think it could be a great opportunity for anyone looking to get into the field or gain more experience.
The page has a lot of useful information about the different positions available, as well as information on the requirements and application process. I think it could be a great resource for anyone looking to find a part-time job in the blockchain industry.
In addition, if you have a Web3 project in mind and you want to develop it, Rather Labs can help you with that. I contacted them in the past in order to tell them about my project, and they were willing to help me.
I hope you find this recommendation helpful! Let me know if you have any questions.
Most people have the opposite problem; they have to take multiple jobs just to equal full time work.
This is of great interest to me. Unfortunately I'm probably not talented enough to be competitive.
It’s difficult to work a part-time and a full :(
4 days a week (30+ hours) is not part time.
Automattic

Fwiw, I got a lot of pushback at Google when I requested to go to 80% or 90% (4 day week or alternating 4/5 day week) for the sake of my mental health. I tried to be firm about that being the best accomodation for my needs and got nowhere except seriously burnt-out months later, put on a PIP, worked my ass off to get off the PIP, and finally quit when I couldn't just suffer through the burnout any longer.
So take those "policies" with a grain of salt.
