While not the main point of this thread, I want to comment on this from the POV of someone who has looked for smart contract devs in the past and hired some (for smaller yet serious projects), as well as helped find devs for others:
The coding listings on traditional freelance platforms like Fiverr have been overrun by low skilled developers that mostly vibecode or use premade/public templates, absolutely no one that's tech literate would take a dev from Fiverr serious. Upwork is heading into the same direction, Fiverr was always more of a cheap gig site but I guess it's spreading now as every third worlder sees an opportunity to make some dev money with a free Cursor subscription.
When I was looking to hire someone I looked around on different developer Discords/communities of that specific chain, some have channels where you can advertise your service. Some of the most hired freelancers were guys that didn't just join to post their ad, but rather guys who were knowledgeable or simply active enough to regurarly engage in conversations or answer questions in those communities.
In the end I ended up scouring Github for small opensource passion projects for a specific chain and reached out to the contributors of the repos that seemed to know what they were doing via Twitter and asked them if they are available for hire, eventough they never asked for jobs in the first place.
Ofcourse, again, this is in my experience. I'm not necessarily saying you won't make money by staying on Fiverr.
Tl;dr: Fiverr listings look cheap. Have some passion projects or other previous work public on your Github or somewhere else, build a name for yourself on Twitter and/or development Discords/communities.
