[Ask IH] Struggling to find good quality paid free lance projects online to work on.

Been on a break for a few weeks now and spent a fair bit of time looking around the internet for good quality freelance work in my area of expertise ( back end/ dev ops / Machine learning ) that also pays decently.

What are everyone else's thoughts on the current state of the world ? Is there room for a disruptive great product ? If yes, what would it look like.

I can give my 2 cents once this thread gets going.
