The hourly rate can be done in the tech field… contractors do it all the time.
My husband (architect, not tech) has negotiated hourly pay for the last 10 years… he explains to his potential employer that when times are slower, he doesn’t draw a salary… It helps that I pay the benefits so that’s a non-issue for the employer.
It can be done if the company is small or if the person is willing to be a contractor rather than a direct employee if the company is larger.
